Ryder loves his toys


Winter has been no problem for Ryder. His thick fur coat has him quite ready. He loves eating snow. Still working on some potty training, but will say, most the time he really tries hard to tap me and let me know and I'm just busy in that moment. Working more on a timed schedule. 

He is opening up and finding more safe space to be a husky. He is still quieter than other huskies, lol, but when you tell him no....the toddler talk back to you comes out. 

He has lots of energy and will need a family who can exercise and play with him. We play tug of war, also fetch. He actually doesn't take much to tire out, but does need to exercise and play. 

During those colder days, fetch is fine with space in the home. He loves his toys. Kong stuff is the only stuff that survives his chewing. Lol

Ryder's new journey

Image
 Ryder has been at the rescue for a bit of time and has picked up on some training. He knows sit and paw and quick to pick up a handful more once he's arrived.  He knows lay down, leave it, out. He is certainly ready for his adoption. We're fostering to get him more acquainted to home life while he's waiting on his furever family.  Check out his tricks!!

The gentle alpha

Ryder certainly has the alpha energy. He's a strong and smart boy who will make sure he tests your pack leader ability. He absolutely will follow commands, but he'll see if you mean them first.  Ryder will definitely need a family with experience with dogs, and/or huskys. He'll need mental and physical stimulation to make sure he's not bored. He'll need to know his humans will be there for him just as much as he's willing to protect them.  With that said, he will rough house with the adults and strong arm his fellow bigger dogs, but once my little comes near, he turns to all gentle licks and lap dog.  There is something amazingly intuitive about dogs around children and he's one of them. He is absolutely gentle. Even when our little Sheltie yelped, he ran right over to see if he was okay. He's loving and loyal for sure!

What a sweet boy so far

  When we met Ryder, there was hesitation due to his size and my younger child. Certainly was not sure about him and my 15 pound sheltie, and then there's the cat..... I will say, he is definitely a gentle giant. With all the "small" friends in the home, it's been the perfect opportunity to practice new things like "gentle" and "leave it" and "get down".  He's doing quite well, to be honest. Huskies are natural hunters so we really were proactive about teaching him friends are and how to be gentle.  He could definitely use a friend, but will TOTALLY love all the human cuddles to himself. If he has a dog friend, it may be best to have something his own size. He definitely loves to play.  He is very energetic and chill at the same time. He'll have zoomies and loves his walks and outside time. He'll just as much love laying next to you on the couch as long as you're snuggling and he'll be happy to give you kisses.  Everyo...
