About Ryker

Ryker was found as a stray, severely matted and in dire need of grooming. He had to be shaved, revealing he was infested with ticks and fleas beneath his heavy coat. Luckily, he tested negative for heartworm. Now, as a handsome boy weighing about 62 lbs, he’s a snuggler at heart. At around 3 years old, Ryker is delightful with children, displaying gentle behavior when a 6-7 year old walked him around the yard. While he enjoys being with other dogs, he prefers not to share the spotlight with a dominant furry friend and would thrive as the only pet soaking up all the love from his humans. Social and affectionate, he loves to maintain contact with his person, even resting a large paw on the driver’s arm during transport. Ryker is truly a gem, eager to give and receive affection.
