Buddy And Ryder Are Hillsborough's Pets Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Buddy and Ryder! They have been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pets Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"This is Buddy and Ryder. We adopted Buddy from Georgia and then a year and a half later we rescued Ryder from the same organization. (Happy Paws Rescue)

They are best of friends and "brothers". It was the best thing we ever did for Buddy as he now has a playmate. Our two small dogs were not into the rough housing but these two have a blast. When not cuddling they enjoy chasing the ball, fighting over sticks, car rides and walks in the woods. We love them and their other brother and sister, Riley and Dolly.
