Recommended environment: This stunning boy has some issues with separation anxiety. He bonds STRONGLY with his person and wants to be with them all the time. Ryder will do best in a home where his person is not gone for long periods of time. A relatively calm and quiet home is preferred. He loves his walks and does well on a leash. He is a smart dog and is learning his basic commands. He is pretty calm and not much of a barker.

Applications
Adoption Application
Foster Application
Volunteer Application
We are an all volunteer organization based in Westerville, Ohio. To ensure that the pet is placed in a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment we require that one of our volunteers completes a home visit with any approved applicants.
Please note that we require that all pets in the household be spayed or neutered and are kept up to date on their vaccinations. All dogs must receive heartworm prevention.
We are currently reviewing applications within a 30 mile radius from Columbus, and from applicants age 21 and older. This does not mean your application will not be considered for a dog who has not been receiving many applications. We want to make sure all of our dogs find a good, forever home!
For dogs in the Canine-Inmate Program: Visits to the prison to meet a dog can only be made Monday through Friday between 8:30 am – 2:30 pm due to the facility’s visitation policies.
