Meet Ryder

Ryder is ready for a real family! Here are 10 things that this charming canine wants his forever home to know about him:

1. I am almost 2 years old and I weigh 130lb. I am a very BIG boy with a heart and personality to match!

2. My foster mom suspects that I might be part Fila Brasileiro, which means that I will need a knowledgeable and experienced home. I am NOT a good candidate for a first time Mastiff owner.

3. Like many dogs of my breed, I can be wary of strangers, and I need to be introduced to new people and visitors slowly. My natural instinct is to be protective, so a busy house is NOT for me.

4. When it comes to humans that I know, I am a total love-bug. I really enjoy getting on the bed or couch with my people and snuggling!

5. I haven’t had much experience around kids, but because of my size and general goofiness, I don’t think I should live with children younger than 12.

6. I have met boy and girl dogs of all sizes and I get along great with everyone. I would love to go to a home with other dogs as long as my new owners could let us get to know each other slowly.

7. Although I’ve never lived with a feline, I do see lots of barn cats at the Bullpen, and I don’t bother them too much. I might be able to cohabitate with kitties, given a slow and proper introduction.

8. I am an extremely sweet and playful boy that’s eager to please and super smart. I already know basic commands, and I think I could learn lots of new tricks if my new family wanted to teach me some.

9. I have excellent doggy manners, I’m housebroken and I’m really great in a crate. When we go for a walk, I sometimes get excited and pull on the leash in the beginning, but after a few minutes I settle down and I remember to walk beside you.

10. I am current on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

Ready to give Ryder the forever home of his dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at www.bullpenrescue.org under the 'work with us' tab.

**We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.

Our dogs are available for adoption nationwide but preference is given to adopters willing to do an in-person meeting. Please understand that our dogs are not adopted on a first-come, first-serve basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.**
