RYDER Labrador Retriever Senior - Adoption, Rescue for sale in Katy, Texas

$140

Est 8-10 years old
Ryder is a sweet senior lab mix who seems to have had it pretty rough for a few years. He was found roaming a neighborhood with horrible ear infections, terrible teeth and a nasty hacking cough. He had clearly been neglected for quite a while, but was surprisingly already neutered and had an amputated leg, so at some point in his life he was well cared for. We got his health needs taken care of and he has settled in wonderfully at his foster home. His heartworm test was unsurprisingly positive, and he does have some residual fibrosis on his lungs from the chronic heartworm disease and prolonged upper respiratory infection. This means he does occasionally cough, and may get short of breath more quickly than other dogs, but it doesn't preclude him from enjoying his remaining years.
He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, although he doesn't always appreciate the teenage antics of his youngest foster sibling. He spends most of his time sleeping - so if you're looking for a running buddy he's not the guy for you. He is crate trained and housebroken in his foster home, although you should expect a short adjustment period. He is happy to lay near his people and is always ready for a good back scratch. He very rarely barks, even when his foster siblings are loudly announcing the UPS truck has arrived. At the end of the day all he really wants is a soft place to rest his bones, an occasional leisurely walk and he wouldnt say no to a few treats here and there.
Ryder is looking for his retirement home - one that can appreciate the joy that comes with loving a senior dog.
Ryder is heartworm positive but please do not rule him out because of this. He is on a treatment approach that is not as hard on the dog as the one you may have heard of. We will provide the medication for this for FREE!
Please consider making this handsome boy a member of your family and contact us to arrange to meet him.
