About Ryker

Ryker is currently at our rescue in Georgia but also available for adoption in the New Jersey area. He'll be transported to New Jersey and will be at Tractor Supply in Ringoes if not adopted by Sept 25. Be sure to submit an application for his adoption at socorescue.com. For any questions about Ryker or the adoption process, please reach out via email instead of calling the rescue. Ryker and his brother, Rolo, were rescued from tough circumstances, but they've both made a miraculous recovery. They were found in poor health, and sadly, their sister didn't survive. Now, Ryker is healthy, happy, and has a playful spirit. He’s well-socialized with both people and other dogs, loves to run, and brings a lot of energy. Slightly smaller than Rolo, he’ll fit well into just about any loving home. Before adoption, Ryker will receive 2 of his 3 puppy vaccinations, be de-wormed multiple times, and started on preventive care for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. His adopter must agree to have him neutered at six months and confirm it to our rescue. Ryker will also need basic training to help him thrive. Click apply to start the adoption process.
