Hi, I'm Ryker. I came from a shelter in Georgia. I can't tell you everything about my past, but I can tell you this-somewhere along the way, I was treated wrong. And I remember it. Because of that, I can be a little nervous, especially when I'm picked up or when things happen too fast. I'm still learning that not every moment means something bad is about to happen. What I really want is simple. A quiet home. A calm space. Maybe even a backyard where I can step outside without feeling like I need to be rushed or leashed right away. Just a place where I can breathe and feel safe. I'm a sweet boy underneath all the nerves. I just need time. Time to adjust. Time to trust. Time to understand that I'm finally safe and nobody is going to hurt me again. In the right home, with patience and kindness, I know I'll become the best little man I can be. I'm just waiting for my person.
