Ryker - Mastiff Dog for Adoption in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Sex: Neutered
Size: Large
Approximate age: 2 years old

This handsome fella has two modes: "THE WORLD IS TERRIFYING!" and "Please never stop petting me." The first one usually comes before the second.
He's convinced that new people, strange noises and probably his own shadow are all part of an elaborate plot but with a little patience (and maybe a few treats), you'll discover he's actually an incredibly sweet, happy boy who just needs a minute to realize you're not a vacuum cleaner in disguise.
Once you're in his inner circle, prepare to be adored. He loves attention, happily accepts pets like they're his full-time job, and thinks compliments are the greatest invention since tennis balls.
As a walking buddy? Absolute professional. While his brain is busy inventing imaginary emergencies, his leash manners are somehow impeccable. He'll stroll beside you like he's training for the Canine Olympics.
He's looking for a patient human who understands that bravery isn't about never being scared, it's about being scared and still accepting ear scratches.
