Story
*** Hi there, I'm your future co-pilot Ryder ***
Nice to meet you! Let me introduce myself - I am a handsome black and white Border Collie mix who is about 2 years old and weighs 72 lbs. When you first meet me, you'll notice my soft and luxurious coat (complete with white boots), soulful amber eyes, and first-class smile. My smile has been one of my trademarks here at the shelter (I've been told it's contagious too!) and it's definitely one of the many reasons I'm a volunteer and staff fave.
The best part of my day is when I get to be outside with my volunteer pals. I get soooo excited and can show my excitement by jumps and hugs in the kennel. But I know that they are at the controls so I listen well when I'm told to sit, especially with a yummy treat. I walk well on leash and will often pause to check on my volunteer buddy to make sure they're enjoying the walk just as much as I am. I love to cruise the yard, play fetch (I even know to "drop the ball), and show off the many commands I've been coached on. I can "sit, "go down, and "come back, among others. A little treat goes a long way with me. I also like to let my volunteer pal know that they're doing a great job too by giving them a pawshake! I'm quite the love bug and will never turn my nose up to one-on-one cuddles, belly rubs, and back scratches. For this reason, it's probably best I fly solo and go to a home where I can be your one and only! But trust me, I have more than enough love under my wing to share with my new furever family.
So, if you're in search for a companion who is equal parts adorable, intelligent, loyal, playful, loving, and sweet- I'm your boy! Whether we're soaking in some sunshine, staying cozy on the couch, or simply keeping one another company, I'm happy to be by your side! So glide on over to our shelter to come meet me in person to see if we'd pawssibly be a good match! Can't wait to shake your hand!
Ryder was brought to our shelter on 8/29/24 after being found in Sunol. He hasn't been reclaimed by his previous person, so he's now looking for a new home. Ryder is looking for a home where he won't have to share you with another dog.
His adoption fee is $35, plus licensing (if applicable).
** Ryder would do best in a home without another dog **
