My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey Chicago (and Wisconsin), whaddya say, Ryno is going to land his forever home TODAY!! Ryno is goofy, sassy, and playful. Named after baseball legend Ryne Sandberg, Ryno was rescued from Chicago Animal Care & Control and has even visited his namesake's statue at Wrigley Field!

Ryno's favorite things are his special toys, playing keep away, sniffing all the things, and running. He gives tons of kisses and LOVES to cuddle. He is high energy with a big smile and a heart of gold. And who can resist those stunning blue eyes?!

Ryno's ideal home would be with someone who understands consent training, is very active, and even does dog agility/sports such as nose work. He is a super smart pup who has nailed potty training. He loves learning new tricks.

He is such a sweet, loving dog. He is the perfect adventure buddy and will do well in a home where he can play and stay active. Ryno is ready to find his forever home so he can be the huge lovebug and cuddlemonster he was born to be!
