Ryder

Rat Terrier

Male, 1 yr 1 mo
Salt Lake City, UT
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ryder is a sweet guy with a slow‑to‑trust heart and a fast‑to‑attach personality. Once you’re “his person,” you officially have a Velcro dog. Sharing his human? Hard pass. Playing? Absolutely. He loves to play—sometimes a little too enthusiastically—and can intimidate dogs his size or smaller simply by being a caffeinated toddler in a dog suit. We call him “Squirrel” because he never stops moving. His tail goes a mile a minute, and he wiggles like he’s powered by sunshine. But settle him in your lap and he instantly transforms into a warm, snoring cinnamon roll. Potty training is still a work in progress, but he wears a belly band like a pro. Leash skills are… developing. He’s also learning the dog door and crate one small victory at a time. If you’re interested in a wiggly little shadow who lives for lap time (and prefers not to share it), Ryder is your guy. He’ll thrive with confident dog friends who won’t steal his human—or his spotlight. Ryder has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Ryder, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Tammy at 801-230-9789 or email tammygustaveson525@gmail.com.

Story
Cady is an adorable senior lady with a big personality! She’s sweet, but she definitely knows what she likes and doesn’t like, especially when it comes to sharing her space with other dogs. Food is her treasure, and she can be quite protective of it! Cady is pretty clever, too. She can use a dog door, as long as it’s not too high. She’s also good with stairs, but honestly, she’d rather be carried — who wouldn’t want to be pampered a bit? When it comes to her favorite activities, Cady loves nothing more than lounging around and getting some love. She’ll happily snuggle up while you pet her, often drifting off to sleep in sheer bliss. She’s not the type to run around nonstop; she prefers a laid-back lifestyle. However, it’s good to keep in mind that Cady might not be the best fit for homes with small children, as she can be a little particular about her space. Overall, she’s a lovely companion who enjoys chilling out and soaking up affection! Cady has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Cady, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, please call/text Tammy at 801-230-9789 or email Tammygustaveson525@gmail.com
