Riko's Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:1Looking for a gentle companion, for easy walks, couch snuggles, and meaningful conversations? Riko is your man!<br/><br/>He’s a senior boy at 10-11 years old. GSD mix – and given his propensity to chat with you, maybe some Husky in there. He’s very mobile for his age, tackling the steps in his temporary foster home with ease. Riko was in foster with 5 other dogs and co-existed well. His foster says he was a great house guest, non-destructive, and happy to lounge around most of the day. Walks are his favorite thing. He loves sniffing all the smells and saying hi to his admirers (of which he has many).<br/><br/>Riko had his injured eye removed and has recovered well.
