Back to all dogs

Meet Flynn Ryder

!! DEADLINE FOR ADOPTION OR RESCUE: WED 9/16/26 @ 5 PM!!Flynn Ryder is an 11-month-old sable and brown Belgian Malinois who has already lived through more than most dogs ever will. Pulled from inhumane conditions and bounced between homes, yet he's still joyful, goofy, and full of spark. Flynn is smart, quick learner and is eager to please. He will thrive with training, games, and “jobs” that work his clever mind. Flynn is also goofy & playful. He loves people and enjoys playing fetch, splashing in the pool and lizard-chasing adventures. Flynn also has a deep bonding potential. Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, devoted, and wants to be your partner, not just your pet. What Flynn truly needs is someone experienced with his breed who will provide him with structure and stability. Flynn can get nippy when over-excited, so he needs redirection to toys and appropriate Why his past returns don’t define him: Flynn wasn’t given the time or tools he needed to settle and bond. One return followed a bite when he was overwhelmed; another happened in under 48 hours for “not bonding” with an adult. He’s not broken- he’s a young, sensitive, high-drive dog who has never had the chance to feel truly secure. If you’re the kind of person who sees potential where others see “too much,” this is your dog. Stop by & ask about meeting Flynn Ryder.
