My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ryder was found in the middle of the road and spent the night tied to an animal lover's porch so that he would not be hit by a car. The lady who found him looked for an owner in the hope of getting Ryder home, but when that didn't happen, she took him to a local boarding facility. He hates being shut up and longs to be outside. He probably has never been allowed inside, so an ARF member with a kennel took him home. Ryder is 5-6 years old and weighs 22 pounds. He is a friendly guy who would probably need a good fence to keep him from following his beagle nose and getting into trouble. But he's a sweet boy, and we know the perfect home is out there for him.  He has been helping another frightened little beagle in his foster home learn to trust people.  But Ryder deserves a home of his own and a family who loves him.

UPDATE:  Poor Ryder tested positive for heartworms and didn't get to go to rescue as planned on 1/16/2016.  ARF will treat Ryder in the hope that after six months and a retest, he can be better and find his happy ending.

UPDATE 2:  Treatment worked!  Ryder tested negative for heartworms on 8/31/ 2016, and will be heading to rescue on 9/3/2016!  Ryder's happy ending is here!
