Help Ryker Get a Service Animal

Meet Ryker! He is a sweet, almost 5-year-old dog-loving kiddo. His family recently partnered with a local nonprofit to find Moose, the perfect service companion for Ryker. Ryker is on the autism spectrum and often finds himself wandering away from his safe zones - Moose can certainly learn to help with that. Plus, with a cute furry friend like that, we hope Ryker will feel more comfortable socializing with his peers.

Unfortunately, shortly after the family's fundraising efforts generated the thousands of dollars they needed to get Moose, the non-profit dissolved, leaving the family with an untrained, albeit very cute, puppy and no more funds for training. As you can imagine, this has added significant stress to the family, both emotionally and financially.

We are hoping we can generate enough funds to get Moose the training he needs to be the best boy for Ryker and his family. If you are able to donate to Ryker and Moose, all donations are beyond appreciated.

If you have connections to dog training resources, general obedience, or service-animal specific, please connect them with Kelli Starbuck or Michelle, Ryker's mom.
