Ryder's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website. A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)<br/><br/>Meet Ryder – 48 Pounds of Loyal, Velcro Goodness<br/><br/>Ryder is a 41⁄2-year-old, 48-pound bundle of sweetness who is ready to be someone’s very best friend. If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle game, Ryder might just be your guy.<br/><br/>The Good Stuff (and there’s a lot of it!)<br/><br/>Ryder already knows Come, Sit, Shake, and High Five like a pro. He rides beautifully in the car (just say “Load up!” and he hops in), sits calmly in the back seat, and has officially decided that pup cups are, in fact, a very good thing.<br/><br/>He is:<br/><br/>House trained and crate trained (crates quietly with minimal whining)<br/><br/>- A supreme cuddler with an excellent “off switch”<br/>- A classic velcro dog who prefers to be near his person at all times<br/>- Great with appropriate dog introductions and respectful of cranky seniors<br/>- Gentle taking treats and very food-motivated (training bonus!)<br/>- A fan of snuffle mats and scent work<br/>- Up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, on preventatives, neutered, and microchipped<br/><br/>Ryder loves walks and nature outings — though “walk” may sometimes turn into “intense sniffing expedition.” He does a lot of sniffing and would likely thrive in scent classes. He might even enjoy agility once he builds confidence with new environments.<br/><br/>In the house, he’ll play fetch and enjoys Kong-style toys. Sofas and chairs were once suspicious, but now? Prime cuddle real estate.<br/><br/>What He’s Working On<br/><br/>Ryder is a good boy who just needs a little polishing in a few areas:<br/><br/>- Leash walking: He’s a bit of a puller but does well on a harness (once it’s on — he pancakes a little during the dressing process).<br/>- Stay/Wait: Solid in the car, still learning to generalize in the yard or house.<br/>- Recall: Pretty good — unless there are chickens in a coop. Chickens are... fascinating.<br/>- Fetch in the yard: Chase? Yes. Return? Optional.<br/><br/>He can be a little cautious meeting new people but warms up quickly with treats. He has not been tested in a home with cats or kids yet. At the vet, he observed cats without reacting, but slow introductions would be best in any new home.<br/><br/>He does best with a slow feeder bowl because meals are his favorite sport.<br/><br/>The Perfect Home for Ryder<br/><br/>Ryder would thrive with someone who:<br/><br/>- Enjoys a loyal companion at their side<br/>- Is willing to continue his training (he’s eager and food-motivated!)<br/>- Appreciates a dog with both playfulness and couch-snuggling talent<br/><br/>Ryder is ready to meet his forever family. If you’re looking for a steady, affectionate, slightly goofy best friend who will ride shotgun, sniff every trail, and cuddle like it’s his full-time job — Ryder is your guy.<br/><br/>Ryder is being fostered in the Wichita, KS area.Click here to watch a video of Ryder.
