Good morning and Happy Tuesday! Today's Featured Pet of the Day is Ryder. Ryder is currently being held at the Humane Soceity of Southwest Missouri and this is what Ryder has to say, "Hi, I'm Ryder! I'm a young 1-year-old Blue Heeler mix. I love running around, exploring new places, and sniffing out fun adventures. I'm independent, so I don't need constant attention, but I do love a good play session. I'm not a fan of sharing my toys or my space, so I'd prefer a home without other pets or kids. But don't worry, I have enough love and energy to fill a house all by myself. I promise to be your loyal companion, your running partner, and your best friend. If you're looking for a brave, independent, and energetic friend, then I'm your guy. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together!"
The Humane Society used these words to describe him, Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Playful, Smart, Curious, Independent, Funny, Athletic, Dignified, Loves Kisses, and Protective. For more information on adopting or to fill out an application, please visit our website: https://www.swh.org/adopt.html
Thank you for reading and please share to help this baby boys find a forever home and family for Christmas. This would be his number one on his wish list to Santa, a family and home to love him. Thank you for helping make this boys hopes a reality. Have a great day!
