Story
Ryder is the total package! This sweet and lovable Cairn terrier mix is the definition of a loyal companion. With a laid-back, easy-going nature, Ryder is happy to hang out with you on the couch or play fetch in the yard — especially if there are doggie snacks involved! Ryder was rescued at 8 weeks old from Hesperia Shelter, with a sibling who passed from parvo soon after they arrived. Ryder never developed parvo and has been healthy since that time. He gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs, and his non-shedding coat makes him a great option for families who prefer less fur around the house. Ryder’s calm, affectionate, and loyal personality makes him an ideal addition to just about any home. He is microchipped, neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Ryder is currently being fostered in San Bernadino County, CA and must be picked up from there. For adoption information, please contact AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com

Frisco and his brother Gillian were rescued from the shelter just in time before they were scheduled to be euthanized. They were so sweet and happy to be saved, instantly showing their gratitude with wagging tails and loving hearts. Frisco is now a happy, energetic boy with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. This handsome Retriever/Lab mix is the perfect blend of playful and affectionate—he’ll chase toys in the yard one minute and curl up in your lap the next. Bursting with energy, but calms down for attention and quiet petting. He is also great with other dogs. Frisco absolutely lives for walks, treats, and splashing in the water—swimming is his favorite thing in the world! With his loyal spirit and cuddly nature, Frisco is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and just wants to be part of a loving family. Frisco has the personality and disposition of a golden retriever. He will be easily housetrained because he goes in and out of the house. If you have a big yard, a big heart, and maybe a pool or a hose to play in, Frisco might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to give his whole heart to his forever home. Frisco is currently being fostered near Rancho Cucamonga CA and must be picked up from there. Adoption is $350 and he is fully vetted, neutered and Chipped. For application please email AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com
