Ryan's Story

Meet Ryan!<br/><br/>You can't help but fall in love with Ryan!<br/><br/>Ryan is charming, sweet, a little unconventional, and somehow still everyone's favorite guy in the room. Ryan is a 5-year-old, 60-lb mixed-breed dog.<br/><br/>Ryan knows his basic commands and genuinely enjoys learning, especially when food is involved (and yes, he will happily beg for a bite or two). Walks are one of his greatest joys because every outing feels like a brand-new adventure. Familiar routes? Still exciting. New smells? Oscar-worthy. He is playful, affectionate, and also perfectly capable of entertaining himself. He loves to run in the yard, have bursts of play and then, when his brain needs a break, he will head straight to his crate for a nap. His crate is his safe space, and he chooses it willingly. He sleeps there at night and uses it to decompress when he feels overstimulated.<br/><br/>Ryan has a mild neurological deficit and can struggle to read other dog's body language. He can become overstimulated more easily than most, which is why he would do best in a calm, predictable home without young children, cats, or other dogs. While he can coexist with another dog, it would need to be a very specific match - one that respects his boundaries and lets him lead when he wants to play or be left alone.<br/><br/>Ryan is housebroken, crate trained, and happiest when he is included in family life, lounging nearby, tagging along, or settling in for a cuddle. And cuddles? He's absolutely in. He may forget what happened five minutes ago, but he never forgets how much he loves his people. Much like his namesake, Ryan Reynolds is endlessly lovable, a little quirky, and proof that even with a few extra challenges, you can still steal the show.<br/><br/>He's very loving and affectionate, a great companion, easygoing with his day-to-day, loves a routine.<br/><br/>Ryan is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $295<br/><br/>We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495. Thank you for stepping up to save a life!<br/><br/>To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Saving Great Animals WA's Adoption Policy
If you are interested in adopting one of our available dogs, you can visit our website savinggreatanimals.org and submit an application. We will then connect you with the dog's foster family for a meet and greet.  Saving Great Animals offers a two week trial adoptions for all dogs, to make sure they are indeed a good match for you. During the trial adoption we are here to support you with advice and training.  Saving Great Animals is a match-making service and not a shelter. We do not have a public facility for you to visit as all of our animals are placed in foster homes. This is a better environment for the animal and also allows us to learn more about their behaviors before they are adopted.  If you are interested in meeting an adoptable pet, please submit an application for that animal via our website and we will then connect you with the foster family for a meet and greet.
