About Ryker

Ryker is a 7-year-old male black Labrador Retriever mix who is thriving in his foster home. His personality shines brightly as he enjoys neighborhood walks, playing with his stuffies, and exploring the backyard. Ryker has a little arthritis, but don't let that fool you; it doesn’t slow him down. He stands patiently during baths and ear cleanings, proving to be quite the gentleman in the house. Social and friendly, he gets along well with the mid-sized dogs he's encountered, often ignoring their barks. He has a curious nature, especially when it comes to squirrels and chipmunks, and while he loves to chase after them, he knows to listen when his foster mom calls him back. Ryker would be a wonderful addition for a loving family looking for an experienced companion. If you're interested, let’s meet!
