Ryker, STAR # 1765

Ryker was returned to STAR for not getting along with the alpha male German shepherd in the household.  He is around 1.5 years old and 60lbs of fun.  Since being back with STAR, Ryker has continued to show that puppyhood is for life! He’s very jovial and loves to throw his stuffed animals around the house.

LOVES TO EAT! Good in crate, Great car rider, and Loves to go on walks. Leash training is still in progress and continues to ‘walk’ us.

He has a fondness for sitting and starring out the front window in hopes of seeing ‘his friend’ – another Aussie that walks by.

Cons:

1. Counter surfer – opportunist – any food at head level automagically becomes his.
2. Begs
3. Door dasher

Pros:

1. Hunter of all things “stuffed”
2. House Trained
3. Eats meals in crate (door open or closed).
4. Crate trained
5. Great car rider
6. Gets along with other dogs
7. Gets along with cats
8. Gives you “space” – He isn’t exactly Velcro, but when he does find his fur-ever home, he will bond very hard

Ryker was described as “the sweetest Aussie I’ve ever met” by his foster home and now he gets to live with STAR alumni family the Cotters (most recently Sadie Blue #1754). So many adventures and TLC are in his future. This boy came to us all the way from Louisiana, and we are thankful to Elaine for finding him and the transport. And thank you so very much to Sean for fostering this boy.

This beautiful 18 mo. old big boy is Ryker.. He is 60 lbs. of fun.. STAR was asked to help find him a new home because a family medical problem.. Ryker will be vetted and evaluated in N. W. Houston.. He should be available for adoption around the first week of September.
