✨ Meet Ryker, the charming heartthrob who's been stealing the show since he arrived at the shelter in the Spring of 2024. This delightful pup was brought along when we severed ties with our partnered shelter because no one could bear the thought of leaving this special guy behind! ❤️ Ryker came to us just out of puppyhood, but growing up in a small, noisy kennel left him feeling a bit overwhelmed, like a soda bottle shaken up too much—full of energy and nowhere to release it! Unfortunately, that overwhelming energy led him to become 'at-risk' for euthanasia when space became tight. 😢 But every cloud has a silver lining—Ryker’s life was dramatically saved when his wonderful foster family stepped in! They’ve given him the chance to truly decompress and discover himself. And oh, has he blossomed! Ryker's foster describes him as "a chill guy who just wants to cuddle on the couch with you." 🛋️ But don’t let that fool you—he’s also ready to unleash his playful side with some rough’n’rowdy fun. After all, life is about balance, right? 🎉 Ryker has been working diligently with a trainer to refine his puppy manners, shaken up by that hectic early life. With patience, he’s proving to be a quick learner, eager to please his human friends! 🥰 All this boy needs now is a dedicated forever parent to help him continue his amazing journey! You’ll love that Ryker is crate trained, leash trained, and super friendly with other pups who can match his spirited energy. Plus, he absolutely adores being the center of attention! If Ryker pulls at your heartstrings (and we know he will!), wouldn’t it be magical to meet him? Well, it’s time for action! Apply to adopt this incredibly special boy through the Buddy App today! 🐾
