Ryder

Ryder came into our lives during a difficult time for me and my kids, and he became the light we didn’t even know we were searching for. He brought joy when we needed hope, laughter when things felt heavy, and love that wrapped around our family and never let go.

With his goofy, sassy personality, Ryder had a way of making every day brighter. He was my best friend, my big baby, and a constant source of comfort. He never met a stranger — every person was a friend waiting to be loved. He adored his fur siblings and cherished every moment with his little humans.

The dog park was one of his favorite places, where his happiness was unmistakable and his spirit truly shined. Although his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will last a lifetime.

Ryder lives on in our hearts, our memories, and the love he gave so freely. We were incredibly lucky to have him, and we will carry him with us always.

Run free, sweet Ryder.

Forever loved. 🐾
