Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ryder – The Smart, Snuggly Scholar with a Heart of Gold
Ryder is a one-of-a-kind mix — part Australian Kelpie, American Bully, and a splash of Cattle Dog — and somehow, all heart. At about 1.5 years old, he’s a handsome, athletic boy with the intelligence of a herding breed and the loyalty of a Bully. Though he’s larger than most of his lineage, he’s as gentle as they come and loves nothing more than being close to his people.
When Ryder first came into rescue, he was a bit unsure of himself. He had always looked to his older housemates for cues on how to act, drawing comfort from their calm confidence. Being out on his own was intimidating. But through private training sessions at Saragold, Ryder has blossomed — and now, he looks to his handler for guidance with focus and trust.
At his most recent adoption event, Ryder was the picture of composure — a true gentleman, walking beautifully on leash, greeting other dogs with excitement and good manners, and showing everyone just how far he’s come.
Ryder’s Highlights:
Excellent leash manners – heels perfectly and stays attentive to his person
Fully housebroken and crate trained – uses the doggy door like a pro
Treat-motivated and fast learner – mastered “touch” and “place” by watching others
Calm, affectionate, and people-focused – a real cuddler who loves being close
Great with other dogs and even cats, sharing toys and space with ease
Playful but thoughtful – loves fetch, squeaky toys, and even watching Lassie and Pup Academy!
Loves water, though he’s more of a splash artist than a swimmer — he’ll stick his whole face in the kiddie pool just for fun!
Ryder doesn’t resource guard, has a wonderful temperament, and learns quickly by observing. His confidence has grown tremendously — he’s now relaxed, affectionate, and eager to please.
Because of his Bully side, Ryder is mainly an indoor dog, as these breeds are sensitive to temperature extremes.
Ryder’s foster is very attached to him and wants to see him continue to thrive in a home that will cultivate his intelligence, continue his training, and give him the love and consistency he deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and goofy best friend who’s come into his own and just wants to share life by your side, Ryder is your guy.

We require a foster or adoption application to qualify to foster or adopt our animals. We do check your current veterinary reference and landlord approval if renting. The next step is a "meet and greet" with all family members and/or household occupants, and current pets. Upon approval, we offer a "trial adoption" period that allows adopter to make sure of a good fit for both the dog and family. Adoption is final when adoption contract (different from application) is filled out and signed, and adoption fee is paid. Our adoption fees range from $75 - $300 (puppies) currently, but are subject to revision if our veterinary costs rise. Due to recent website issues please submit application at www.friendsfureveranimalrescue.net if the .com link provided does not work
