Meet Ryker, a magnificent soul with a heart as big as his bark! 🐾 This lovable guy is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention—because let’s face it, he truly deserves it! Ryker’s journey began in a breeding facility where he spent his puppy days amidst a sea of over 100 dogs. 🌟 When the heartbreaking news of the breeder's passing rang out, he found himself in a loving foster home, which seemed destined to be his forever home. But as he matured, Ryker's preferences became clear: he craves human companionship and has decided that being a solo pup is what makes him happiest! Though he’s a playful spirit with people, he’s become intolerant of other dogs and would rather have a family all to himself. Special moments with Ryker involve him showing affection in his quirky way, like licking fingers or gently holding hands during playtime. He promises never to bite—after all, his love language is all about those sweet gestures! 💖 Completely crate trained and house trained with a solid routine, this mellow fellow is a pleasure to have around. He walks well on a leash and enjoys toys and chew bones! Just a heads-up: he has a special fondness for velour or Sherpa blankets, so it’s best to keep those out of reach. 🧸 Oh, and let’s not forget his secret skill—he’s the neighborhood watchman! With an impressive deep bark, he can alert his humans to any suspicious deer, squirrels, or even the occasional turkey wandering too close to home. 🦌 After three years, he hasn't attempted to escape, despite the ability to jump a 4.5-foot fence if he wanted—loyalty at its finest! Now, his loving foster mom is seeking the best for him, wanting him to have the freedom to roam with ease in a home without other dogs or cats. It’s a tough decision to consider rehoming, but she knows that Ryker will flourish in a space where his spirit isn't constrained by rotating in and out to avoid conflicts. If you're looking for a sweet, protective companion and can provide a fenced yard, then Ryker might be the perfect match for you! ❤️ To bring this charismatic boy home, potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App! Let's help Ryker find his forever home today!
