Riker is approximately six year old shih tzu mix.  He was a stray and loves people.  He follows his foster mom all around the house.  He walks well on a leash. He likes treats and dog food (wet and dry). He is a snuggle bug on a recliner or couch.  He does get upset if he isn’t allow to sleep in the same room as you.  He is not completely potty trained but working on it. He is a wonderful companion dog.
