He's the social media sensation who has made it his life mission to rescue as many dogs as possible.

And after winning plenty of female fans thanks to his selfies on Instagram, RSPCA inspector Ryan Anderson was named Cosmopolitan X Tinder Bachelor of the Year on Wednesday night.

The 30-year-old animal activist already has a fan in MAFS' Clare Verrall, who publicly propositioned Ryan after reposting his profile on social media and declaring him her 'soulmate' in January.

The dog lover was named a finalist in the bachelor search after dating app Tinder declared him one of the most swiped right men in the country.  

Ryan said he plans to use his award to promote his work with animals, explaining: 'I’d like to use the exposure to get more rescue dogs adopted.'

The hunky south Australia said his ideal date would be a day spent at a secluded beach.

'We’d spend the day surfing, swimming, snorkelling and hanging out,' Ryan said.

'I think surfing is a good ice-breaker and who doesn't love dogs and the beach?' 

Someone who might be up for that date is MAFS season two's Clare, who enthusiastically reached out to Ryan last month.

 'So, um, pretty sure I just found my soulmate on Instagram,' Clare shared with her 34,000 followers.

 She then directly mentioned his profile handle, @aussiedogguy, to ensure that he'd be notified of her post, followed by the hashtags: '#AnimalRescue #LovesDogs #Hot #Single #LivesInAnotherState <- #Thatsannoying.'

Clare wasn't done there, further writing: 'He also now knows I totally just IG stalked him #NotSubtle. He's getting my cosmo-tinder bachelor of the year vote that's for sure! #Stalker #OhWell #NothingToLose!'

When one of Clare's friends commented that she actually knows Ryan, an ecstatic Clare responded: 'lol no friggin way!!! What a small world! Tell him nice things about me!'

Miraculously, the Adelaide-based Ryan wasn't terrified by the strong come-on, and instead responded by commenting that he wanted to visit the blonde reality TV star and their mutual friend in Melbourne.

'You guys crack me up! G'day Clare,' he wrote. 'Thanks for the repost haha I'm going to have to plan a Melb trip to actually meet you guys in person.' 

Is there a future? Ryan responded to Clare's public approach saying he would try and come to Melbourne in the future to meet up
