My name is Stryker and I'm available for adoption! I'm an 11-year-old male Dutch Sheepdog, weighing in at a slight 55 pounds.
I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I'm still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be.
You can find out more about me and my other friends on our website at www.kingcounty.gov/adoptapet. Note that RASKC has moved back to walk-in services! If you have more questions, you can contact RASKC via phone at 206-296-7387 (PETS) or email pets@kingcounty.gov.
