Ryder - Another Sad Life Turning Around

Ryder is a sweet shepherd mix, 4 yrs old, he is the best! If you met this dog, you wouldn’t need a description for this perfectly behaved small, sweet Shepherd mix. Ryder was another dog surrendered due to cruel and neglectful circumstances. ( Jovie, came from the same place, as did many others, but none [14] have made it out of the shelter[editor's note: Jovie died right after her spay surgery, the day she was to be rescued out of there by this group. Rest in peace sweet girl.]) Ryder was chained at the back of the property, no food or water; with blanched animal skeletons and construction trash scattered near his lonely circle of dirt. This sweet dog survived the worst circumstances and is actually happy to be at our shelter! The shelter's behaviorist described Ryder as "easy to walk on leash, calm, well mannered, solicitous and good with other dogs".

Ryder's really happy to be going somewhere in an air-conditioned vehicle!

Ryder will be neutered prior to adoption and has a large mass on his hind end that may need surgery. Please check back with us as we get to know this sweet, sweet dog.
