Sweet Pup Who Lived At A Shelter For 2 Years Requests His Mom To Tuck Him In Every Night

Just like all stray dogs, Ryder dreamed of discovering true love in the arms of his humans. 

It was this dream that pushed him forward as he tirelessly roamed the streets of California in search of morsels of food.

When Ryder finally got rescued and admitted to a shelter, he was extremely malnourished and exhausted.

Just like all stray dogs, Ryder dreamed of discovering true love in the arms of his humans. 

It was this dream that pushed him forward as he tirelessly roamed the streets of California in search of morsels of food.

When Ryder finally got rescued and admitted to a shelter, he was extremely malnourished and exhausted.

The Pup Steals The Heart Of His Family

He changed multiple shelters until he was taken in by The Lovejoy Foundation, Inc., a rescue located in Inglewood, California.

Ryder delighted the staff with his playful and affectionate personality and they hoped that the doggo would soon capture the heart of a loving family.

However, months passed and Ryder remained at the shelter. The pup wondered whether he would ever find love and experience life outside the shelter walls.

Even after he spent two years at a shelter system, Ryder didn’t let the hope within his heart wither away.

One day, a wonderful family came to the shelter in order to adopt a kitten.

As soon as they saw Ryder and looked into his beautiful eyes, the couple fell head over heels in love with him.

“Ryder’s parents originally came to adopt a kitten. However, when they saw Ryder it was love at first sight. They took him home that same day,” The Lovejoy Foundation wrote in a Facebook post.

The pup couldn’t believe that he finally got noticed and picked out of the crowd.

He was excited to move in with his humans whom he waited for so long. His parents doted on him and showered him with a ton of love. 

Ryder was extremely appreciative of their affection and care.

Being Grateful For Finally Finding His Family

He enjoyed every second of his new life, and he started forgetting his previous life.

The pup loved the comfy new bed and a blanket that his parents bought him.

When his forever mom, Michele, posted his heartwarming bedtime routine on Ryder’s TikTok account, the dog melted the hearts of his followers.

“Our rescue dog who spent two years in the shelter won’t go to sleep until he’s tucked in for night-night,” a caption shared with the video says.

The video shows Ryder as he stands in front of his mom in order to remind her that he wants to go to bed.

Ryder’s mom helps him put on his pajamas and the doggo takes his time to shuffle his pillow.

After Michele tucks him in, Ryder looks at her with love-filled eyes before he drifts off to sleep.

The pooch lives his dream life with his family. He enjoys snuggling with his parents and his kitty siblings.

“Ryder gazes out at the ocean during the day and cuddles up with his parents and his two kitty siblings at night,” his shelter friends shared on Facebook.

The doggo’s mom uses Ryder’s TikTok page to showcase how wonderful rescue dogs are and to encourage more people to adopt shelter dogs.

I hope that the other shelter dogs will get the chance to taste freedom and find their place under the sun.
