Dale Rider

Dale has been with the organization since 2023 and has loved every minute of it!

He’s had dogs in his life since his earliest memories and has never gone without one in his household. While in the military, he had the opportunity to see military working dogs in action and immediately fell in love with their courage and intelligence. These dogs not only completed their missions but also maintained a playful side that greatly boosted morale. Inspired by this, Dale sought every opportunity to spread the word about these amazing canines and eventually found his way to Paws of Honor.

At home, Dale enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Erin, and their pack of four animals: Onyx (German Shepherd), Stella (Shorthaired Pointer Mix), Nacho (Mountain Cur Mix), and Lola (Cat). He also enjoys playing videogames, going to the gym, and trying new breweries.
