Backstory:
Riker is a sweet heart that absolutely loves all people. He knows basic commands such as “sit, lay, stay, leave it, paw.”
Riker has made a few friends with some of the male and female dogs at the shelter, and seems to prefer calmer dogs that are his size or bigger.. for some reason this boy just doesn’t seem to like the smalls!
Riker is great with children of all ages, but would do best in a home with older or dog savvy kids as he does like to jump up for hugs and kisses and could knock a toddler over. He is just dying to be loved on so a family in need of some doggie snuggles and kisses would be perfect for him.

Riker’s birthday is March 12th 2021.
