Ryder Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Ryder! She has been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is our pup Ryder! She is a rescue. We believe she rescued us as much as we rescued her. She is a mixed breed and she is 3 1/2 years old.

She loves playing with her canine friends and is always excited when people come over to play with her. She loves playing catch with her Dad and brother and loves to swim in our pool. Ryder is also a big cuddlier in bed with Mom and Dad at night.

Ryder ran her first 5K at the Hillsborough Run Around The Park on April 22 and received a metal."

— Lynn Petner, Hillsborough
