Rye is estimated to be 2 years old and weighs 56 lbs, with a few more pounds to gain. He has a sunny disposition and a smile that can brighten anyone's day. Rye is a goofy, affectionate boy who loves to snuggle and will make sure you never feel alone. He greets everyone like a best friend and approaches each day with enthusiasm. While he can get a little jumpy when excited, it's all out of eagerness for love. He's quickly learning that sitting earns more praise than jumping, so any jumping is likely a remnant of his puppy days. With a little guidance, he'll be a well-mannered companion in no time.
Ideal Home
Rye would thrive in a home that enjoys playtime, walks, and some structure. He is very adaptable and could live in an apartment with plenty of exercise and enrichment, though a house with a yard would be ideal. He is social and polite with other dogs, doing best with calm, self-assured dogs, especially females who can match his enthusiasm. Rye has shown to be tolerant of cats after a polite introduction. While he adores children and is gentle with them, younger children will need guidance to help him learn to manage his excitement.
