About Ryker

Meet Ryker, an adorable 7-month-old German Shepherd mix who promises to be your loyal companion. Weighing in at 65 pounds, he is still growing and will become a sizable boy. Ryker was rescued alongside his sister Amory, who is smaller but equally charming. With a sunny disposition, Ryker brings joy wherever he goes. Currently in a foster home, he thrives on social interactions with people and enjoys playing with his furry siblings. His friendly nature makes him great with kids, and his affectionate side ensures he'll cuddle beside you after an active day. Typical of a Shepherd, he is intelligent, loyal, and quick to learn. You can see just how well he walks on a leash via his videos. He's already house-trained and getting the hang of crate training. While he would love a doggy sibling, he can flourish as a solo pup in an active household. A fenced yard would definitely make him happy. If you’re ready to welcome a playful, loving, and devoted companion into your life, Ryker could be the perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
