RYDER - TERRIER / HOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Hound / Mixed. A HANDSOME & FRIENDLY FELLOW: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 38 lbs. Hi, I’m Ryder! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am enjoying my time with the nice volunteers, who spend time with and take great care of me. Now I hear that I’m ready to find a wonderful family of my very own – where I can love and be loved furever! I hope to meet them very soon! I came in heartworm positive, but I'll be treated for that soon and I hope to be with my new family before treatment starts. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a very sweet, friendly boy with a handsome face and a curious heart. I like to “sweet talk” with my little grumbly vocalizations which are adorable, and while I was curious on the walk to the paw spa, bath time made me a bit nervous - but I did enjoy the face wash and was very brave for my ear cleaning. All in all, I’m a gentle, loving guy who, like all dogs, wants love, kindness and reassurance. / Energy level: Approx. 5-7, possibly a little lower. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’ve been told that I walk nicely on my leash and I’m sure I can learn lots of commands – so let’s do some training together! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts though I did rub on it a bit with my nose and lost some fur, but it’s growing back in now. / I am having some accidents and doing some marking at the shelter, but thankfully I’ve just been neutered, so with training and time, I should learn. Keep me on a good schedule with treat rewards outside when I potty to help with this. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love food and treats, spending time with people, and going for nice walks together. I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we will enjoy together in my new home. / Baths must be pretty new to me, because I was quite nervous about everything at first. But by the final rinse, I started to relax, and with a little time and patience, I know it’ll only get easier. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I lost a bit of fur on my nose from rubbing my crate but it’s growing back now. Since I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, I'm HW positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that in mid-February 2026 and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet, so local adoption please. I hope to be with my family before treatment starts. I’m a sweet guy looking for a great home and family to cherish and live a good life with. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
