Ryder

Ryder

Ryder is a 7-year-old male German Shorthaired Pointer Mix. He was surrendered because his previous owner had a medical condition that prevented Ryder from getting the exercise and attention he required. He is active and the perfect age for someone looking for a walking or running companion. 

Ryder previously lived in an apartment and is crate trained. He is used to doing his business on one of his daily walks. He knows a few different commands, including "sit," "go do your business, "and "kennel up."

While he was an only dog, Ryder has done well with well-behaved dogs in a social environment. He doesn't engage the other dogs and prefers to be with his people.
