My personality

My story

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

Ryder was found as a stray in rural Georgia and ended up at a high-kill shelter. He was brought up to Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin on 10/26. He was an overall fan favorite at the shelter with his silly and playful personality. He is currently in Brown Deer, Wisconsin settling into his foster home.

The best way to describe this boy: he is a silly puppy in a big dog's body! With that being said, he needs a little training to help with the puppy behaviors such as nibbling on foster siblings when they don't want to play anymore, he is getting better about jumping, not pulling on the leash, and other puppy behaviors. Everything about him is just innocent puppy tendencies and we are sure he will do amazing over time with a little training and consistency. He spent the majority of the first part of his life in a shelter so he never really got the chance to learn those things or have anyone to teach him.

He seriously is a total sweetheart and does not have a mean bone in his body. He is friendly to everyone he meets! He gets along with his foster siblings great and loves to play with all the neighbor dogs and gives kisses 😘

His foster parents are starting to teach him tricks like sit and shake! 😊🐾

He is working on potty training and doing very well with only a few accidents in the house so far. He is working on walking on the leash and does well in the crate while his people are at work! He is not off-leash yet and needs time and training before he gets to that point. He has not met any cats yet.

He would do best in a house with older children or no children just because he does not know his size and strength and may bump into them on accident. He would be great for someone with an active lifestyle and not for an apartment.
