About RYDER

If you are looking for a handsome, loyal and active companion, RYDER is your boy! As an added bonus, he perform circus tricks!! RYDER is very devoted and wants to be with you and will follow you wherever you go, even room to room. Ryder loves being near people and other dogs. He tries hard to please and enjoys learning. Ryder is a wonderful happy dog and he will be an outstanding dog making countless friends along the way. However, leaving him in an apartment or backyard all day in not enough exercise or enrichment at his early age. Ryder needs a job to do (such as a dog sport) that will engage his mind along with a full body workout (visit AKC.org to learn more about dog sports). He needs daily mental and physical stimulation or his energy level will rise substantially. He will require at least an hour a day of combined walks and training or dog sports. To keep Ryder busy while waiting for his forever home, he is currently enrolled in a Street Dog Rehab Program and has had a month of professional board and train covering basic manners, beginning agility and freestyle tricks, and CGC test items. His next step would be to earn an AKC 'Canine Good Citizen' award. Some of the tricks and skills Ryder has been working on are: spins, sit pretty, down, sit, paws up, step up, tugging, retrieving, flying disk, figure 8's, leg weaves, barrel rolling, skateboard riding, nose work, jumping, bow, paw touch, targeting, drills on platform, waits at doors for permission, and water hose chase game. He has been trained to sit on small elevated platforms or use a small throw rug. He can go up and down steep ramps for loading in vehicles or agility dog walk. RYDER LOVES water and his favorite toys are: Tugs, antler chews, bumpers, balls, any squeak toy, cardboard containers, boxes, plastic water bottles in a thick sock, and wood sticks. Ryder is available for adoption with Saving Grace Dog Rescue of San Antonio. The adoption fee is $150.00. An adoption application, home visit and adoption contract are all required. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations appropriate for their age, microchipped, and wormed for internal and external parasites. If you would like more information or an adoption application, please email us at [email protected]. Please note that visual breed identification in rescue dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only GUESSING at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
