Story
Riker is a high-energy, 60#, loving dog who thrives with companionship—whether it’s people or other dogs. He came into my life during a time of transition (towards the end of my marriage), and while I’m doing my best, our current apartment lifestyle just isn’t meeting his needs. He’s smart and eager to please, with a solid understanding of basic commands like *sit*, *down*, *wait*, and *quiet*. He absolutely loves sniffing games, and we’re even working on scent training—he’s learning to find cash! Riker can be a bit leash-reactive, but once he spends just a few minutes with another dog, he usually becomes fast friends. He’s shown interest in cats, though he can be a little too enthusiastic and might give chase, so supervision is key. My top priority is Riker’s happiness and well-being. I’ll always be his safety net—I'm willing to stay involved as a backup home and even help with medical costs if needed.
