Meet Ryan! He is already neutered and READY TO GO HOME!!!
This handsome two year old is looking for his forever home. He was initially overlooked due to a Cherry eye but recently had it removed and thrived in his temporary foster home post-surgery. Now, he's more handsome than ever!
Ryan is a big, strong boy and enjoys walks outside, especially if there are birds, squirrels, or rabbits to spot (make sure to walk him with a harness because he will spot them before you do and try to chase them - hold that leash!). He's crate trained (just throw a few treats in there and he'll easily go in) and won't potty in his crate. Ryan adores playing with toys and chewing on bones, but treats are the best things EVER! If you're someone with a fenced in yard or accustomed to walking bigger dogs and are looking for a loyal companion, Ryan could be your perfect match!
During a playgroup session, Ryan was quite confident playing with female dogs. He has not had stellar interactions with male dogs, so we recommend a home with a confident, tolerant female dog.
He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to his foster mom at rachel.petranka@gmail.com Primary Color: Blonde Weight: 55 Age: 2yrs 4mths 0wks
