My story

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

Heres what Sausage Ryder's foster has to say!

"Are you looking for a friendly, playful, silly, cuddlebug? Then Sausage Ryder is your guy! You can tell he is looking for love from his human companions and enjoys spending time with you- whether that is playing a game of fetch, watching you eat trying to convince you to give him a piece with his puppy dog eyes, or snuggling up with you watching TV. He definitely loves people and getting pets from them!

Sausage Ryder is very curious about the world around him and wants to take everything in- which can sometimes be too much! In loud or chaotic situations, he can get overwhelmed and start to act out of his playful character because of the stress. With some space and alone time, he bounces back to his usual self. So long as his family is aware of his social limits, Sausage Ryder will do just fine!


When it comes to going on walks, squirrels beware! Sausage Ryder definitely has a drive to chase after squirrels and bunnies. However, once they are safely up the tree or out of sight, he is good to keep moving on for his walks. Just be sure whoever is behind the leash can handle the pull of this 60lb dog!


While we are unable to introduce Sausage Ryder to other dogs while in foster, he is definitely curious about them on walks! He does well if the other dog doesn't start barking at him and can walk right on by the other side of the street without issue. If the other dog starts barking at him, then Sausage Ryder can get riled up and will need some help disengaging out of sight of the other dog. Any dog introductions to Sausage Ryder should be done slowly as his high and excited energy can be a lot for other dogs.


Overall, Sausage Ryder has been a great foster dog. He truly loves his people and is looking for a family that will love him back. He plays fetch very gently, brings the toy back to you, and knows some basic commands. He is housetrained and also kennel trained (although he will give you loving puppy dog eyes trying to convince you that he should be able to stay on the couch instead!). If your family would do well with a loveable goofball who loves to play and snuggle, then consider giving Sausage Ryder a chance!"
