About Ryker

Ryker is a 5-month-old Husky and Labrador Retriever mix just starting out in Michigan after coming up from Texas with his siblings. He’s still very much a puppy—full of energy, affection, and an urge to play as soon as he sees you. His short black and cream coat sets off those bright puppy eyes, and he’s always ready to win someone over with his sweet, goofy personality. Ryker really thrives when he can run off his energy, so a fenced yard is a must for him. He isn’t house trained yet and still needs help learning the puppy basics. He’s social and loves to be around people or other dogs, and his playful side will keep everyone entertained. Ryker is looking for an adopter who’s ready for an energetic, loving dog and can provide patience as he learns. If you’re ready to give Ryker a forever home, he’s waiting in Madison Heights, MI.
