Our wonderful boy Ryder has never known the comfort of a home of his own, and he urgently needs your help. Ryder’s journey began in an alley in St. Paul, where he was found trembling on September 1, 2023, when he was barely two months old. Diagnosed with parvo, a potentially life-threatening disease for puppies, Ryder was in a dire situation. But The Rescue Crew stepped in to save his life, and now, a year later, he’s ready to find the loving home he’s never had.
Despite everything he’s been through, Ryder is a sweet, smart, and energetic boy. Unfortunately, he faces a few obstacles that make it harder for him to find his forever home.
Obstacle 1: He’s a big dog.
Obstacle 2: He’s a black dog.
Obstacle 3: He’s a Pit Bull-type dog.
These factors shouldn’t matter, but sadly, they often do. Ryder has so much love to give—he just needs someone to give him a chance.
The Rescue Crew has invested in Ryder’s future by placing him in a board and train program, where he’s thrived. Ryder is now crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on a leash. He loves playing with other dogs, though his play style can be a bit physical—he’s a young Pittie mix, after all! But don’t worry—he’s great at taking cues from other dogs and listens well to verbal corrections from people.
Ryder has also shown himself to be a superstar in public, meeting new people with ease and charm. While he’s comfortable around both men and women, he does have a special fondness for the ladies. He also prefers older children in the home.
This resilient boy would do best in a home with a confident dog companion. A fenced yard would be a bonus, but it’s not a dealbreaker as long as he gets plenty of exercise.
Ryder has overcome so much already. All he needs now is someone to give him the love and stability he’s been waiting for.
Who can help this brave, beautiful boy find his forever home?

The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota.

You can also access the necessary online adoption application here as well.
