Ryder

Friendly, happy, sweet and smart, Ryder appears to have had some training, and he definitely wants to please people. At approximately 7 months old, Ryder, an American pit bull terrier mix, is handsome in his tan and white shorthair coat and gorgeous heart-melting golden eyes. This large boy will do best with a loving, attentive and active family who will give him plenty of regular exercise and play — preferably in a fenced area or on a leash — take him with them on their outings, give him obedience training and a good forever home. When making inquiries about Ryder, use his ID No. 0883. Come meet him, he’s available at the shelter.

Hook, ID No. 0893; Wendy’s ID, No. 0894. Come in — they’re available at the shelter, and they’d love to meet you.
