Ryder - Great Dane and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Abbotsford, British Columbia

Meet Ryder!
5 Years Old Great Dane/Black Lab Mix 73 lbs Neutered Male

Big dog. Even bigger sweetheart. Ryder has absolutely perfected the gentle giant personality.

His family loves him, but an upcoming move to an apartment means they're asking for help finding him a home better suited to his needs. Ryder would thrive with an active family, a securely fenced yard to stretch those long legs, and maybe even some kiddos to call his own.

He's sweet, gentle, affectionate, house trained, and crate trained, giving his future family a wonderful head start as he settles into his new home.

Ryder does have a chicken allergy, so he'll need to stay on a chicken-free diet.

He's looking for people who see a big dog and think, perfect, more to love! Someone who will include him in their adventures, give him plenty of room to enjoy life, and make him a true part of the family.

His circumstances are changing, but Ryder has done nothing wrong. He simply needs a loving home ready to give this very deserving boy his next chapter.

If Ryder sounds like your kind of guy, he may be exactly who you've been waiting for.
