Tiberius Riker (Ty)

Meet Tiberius Riker — or Ty, if you’re lucky enough to be his friend.<br/><br/>This 5-year-old, 55 lb sweetheart is ready to find the loving, forever home he’s always deserved.<br/><br/>Ty first joined our rescue as a puppy and was adopted, but life took a difficult turn. After a move across the country, he ended up in a home where he experienced years of mistreatment. Thankfully, his original adopter reached out to return him to us—and since then, Ty has been thriving in a nurturing foster home that’s given him the time, care, and stability to heal.<br/><br/>Ty is goofy, sweet, and relaxed. He’s house and kennel trained, and walks beautifully on a leash and harness. While he’s not the type to chase toys or wrestle with other dogs, he loves being close to his people—snuggled on the couch watching Law & Order or Chopped (he’s a big fan of Chopped). If there’s no room on the couch, he’ll happily curl up at your feet.<br/><br/>He’s a quiet guy, except when he's excited for a walk or hoping for a snack—his favorites are carrots and apples! Ty adores belly rubs, handles brushing like a champ, and only protests when it comes to nail trims (understandable, right?).<br/><br/>Ty has food allergies that require a specific diet—he does well on 4Health Salmon & Potato and receives Cytopoint allergy shots to keep him symptom-free.<br/><br/>He’s done wonderfully with the kids in his foster home, enjoys their company, and loves cuddling up to watch TV with them. He’s also coexisted peacefully with a cat and would be happy with or without another dog in the home.<br/><br/>Ty has been through a lot, and what he needs now is simple: a home full of gentleness, kindness, and consistency. He’s a truly special soul who’s ready to give his heart to a family that will finally give him the love and security he deserves—for the rest of his life.<br/><br/>If you feel that you can give Ty the home life he deserves, you can send inquiries to our director of adoptions at muttmisfitsadoptions@gmail.com or apply to meet / adopt at www.muttmisfits.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>Ty is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and preventative, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.
