  — Amanda B.

• “Ryker is a 5yr old Rottweiler/Husky mix. He’s shy when you first meet him but soon warms up ☺️ He’s full of energy & LOVES to explore. He can be very sassy & a touch dramatic 😂 Ryker loves anything to do with the outdoors but is equally excited to be home & having a snooze on the couch.“

  — Sarah R.

• “I’m Ryker and I have a lot of things I’m working on right now. I’m trying to get used to new people around my mom. Also working on not getting so defensive when I see other dogs!“

  — Megan R.

• “He super smart and happy,loves most people, has a few dog friends but doesn't like all dogs.“

  — Brandi A.

• “I was adopted by my parents from the Humane Society when I was 11 months old and I have been absolutely spoiled ever since. My brother is my best friend in the whole world. Outside of sleeping for 18 hours a day, I love to play tug of war, get zoomies, lay in the sun and annoy my brother. I am very curious and love going new places to investigate all the different smells.“

  — Camy P.

• “Ryker is a ~3 year old mixed breed rescue from Korea. In his short life, he's experienced alot! His first owners abused and starved him before some kind people rescued him and worked with an organization to bring him to Canada from Korea. In his new life here, he has learned how to be a dog and exist in this very exciting (and sometimes scary) world. He loves to sniff and practice hunting, take naps when camping and lounge on the patio. Inside, he's a big cat and outside he's a medium energy boy who would sniff every blade of grass if he could. He is still brushing up on his obedience after working on his reactivity for a year but slowly and surely he is becoming the best canine citizen!“

  — Mariah B.

• “I really only like my Bubbie. They world is very scary...I like to explore but no where to far, too dark, or too new...and my Bubbie has to come with.“

  — Graci Z.

• “Hi I’m Ryker, I’m a very athletic boy I love to go hiking with my mom and dad, but I’m a little nervous around new people so sometimes I cause a scene, I’m also a big baby when it comes to meeting new dogs I like to roll over and play dead when they come to greet me“

  — Meggie E.

• “Hi I’m Ryker ! I get a bad rap for how I look but I promise I just want to play and lick you to death. In fact, I am scared to potty in the rain and don’t like to wet my feet. I love to play fetch and out run everyone. I especially LOVE to meet new pups and people but sometimes I get so exited and I want to jump on people. My mom says we are still working on this behavior and I can’t do that . She rescued me from the pound and has given me a second chance in life and I just love everything and my brothers Odin and Jake.“

  — Alicia M.

• “My favorite thing is being able to run and terrorize my sister into chasing me! My second favorite is my stuffed strawberry which is my emotional support berry.“

  — Emily L.

• “Ryker is a playful boy that is picky with his friends but loves to run with his small circle of furry buddies. Does have a heart murmur and dietary restrictions.“

  — Reiley D.

• “Names Ryker. A 4 1/2 year old toy Aussie who LOVES people, other dogs are alright I guess. I love to run and play like my life depends on it.“

  — Zahira D.

• “I’m a 4 year old Malinois that lives indoors with my retired Mom. Because I’m an active working breed, I love to practice my obedience and I need to keep up with practicing outdoors in different places. We used to live on a farm and I miss playing frisbee, running outside or just hanging out off leash. I like other people if I’m properly introduced the way I’ve been trained but it’s easier for me if there aren’t strangers around because I get a little too excited.“

  — Tonya I.

• “This is one of my cilents/friends dog. He is a very good boy and loves to sniff and explore!“

  — Aaliyah D.

• “My name is Ryker and I love my humans so much! My mom always says I’m so handsome and there’s no doubt about it. I really like to run and jump and kick my scent around the yard. Oh and I like to talk… a lot. People always tell me I’m very vocal and it’s just because I’m so excited and full of energy. I can’t wait to play and learn new skills🥳🥳“

  — Nacole R.
