About Ryu

Ryu is a 7-year-old male Husky mix with a striking pair of mismatched eyes that are hard to forget. He’s easygoing and affectionate, soaking up attention from everyone he meets—kids, dogs, and even cats. Ryu has shared his home successfully with another dog, a cat, and a young child, so he’s truly a social animal. You’ll find him giving out kisses in exchange for snuggles, always up for making a new friend. He’s already housebroken and doesn’t need a crate; he’ll stay quiet unless there’s really something to alert you about. Ryu knows how to "sit" and is gentle when taking treats. He isn’t much for car rides, but he loves going on walks and lounging around at home. Although he’s still perfecting his leash-walking skills and may pull, a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs is ideal. For those wanting a gentle giant that brings calm companionship to the home, Ryu fits the bill. Only applications from within 90 minutes of Rensselaer, NY will be considered.
