Ryder (26-107 D) - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Lansing, Michigan

Looking for a sidekick for your next adventure? Ryder is ready to make every day your “Best. Day. Ever.”

Ryder is a 4.5-month-old mixed-breed puppy from Georgia with a big personality, an adventurous spirit, and some seriously adorable features: see his oversized paws, long legs, swoonworthy eyebrows, and the softest floppy ears you've ever seen.

This handsome boy is smart, athletic, and eager to please. He loves spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and taking in all the sights and sounds around him. Ryder is incredibly curious and confident, never afraid to investigate something new or try a new adventure. He has a playful, silly side that will keep you smiling, but he's also surprisingly attentive and loves checking in with his person by staying right by your side each step of the way.

Ryder is a quick learner and has already shown how much he enjoys training. He learned “sit” after only a few tries and pays close attention when someone is working with him. He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys observing nature during his outings. Ryder thrives when he's given structure, guidance, and opportunities to use both his brain and his energy.

He loves other dogs, enjoys meeting people, and is always ready to make a new friend. At night, Ryder sleeps quietly in his kennel and has been doing great with no overnight potty accidents. Like any young puppy, he's still learning house manners, but when he's on a consistent routine and his family watches for his signals, he is very successful with potty training outside.

Ryder will be available for adoption in just a couple of weeks and is looking for a family that will continue investing in his training, socialization, and active lifestyle. In return, he'll reward them with endless affection, loyalty, laughter, and companionship. If you're looking for a smart, adventurous puppy with a huge heart and lots of potential, Ryder may be the perfect addition to your family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
