So who are these adorable characters that have captured the attention of your child? Without further ado, introducing the PAW Patrol character names, and all the fun facts about each pup.
Paw Patrol Character: Ryder
It goes without saying, that we have to start the character countdown by talking about Ryder, the 10 year old little boy that acts as the group's leader. The PAW Patrol pups look to Ryder to explain their missions and he officially puts them on duty with various tasks. He's also the character that builds the equipment that they use for all their intricate rescue missions. This bright, responsible young boy is the key to managing the team and ensuring they are ready for each adventure they take on.
Paw Patrol Character: Marshall
Marshall is an adorable Dalmatian. He is a responsible character that all the other pups put their full trust in. He's as funny as he is responsible, as he pursues his role as firefighter and medic within the group.
Staying true to his Dalmatian roots, Marshall tends to be easily excitable which makes him a tad bit clumsy at times. He often bumps into his friends and in spite of being very trustworthy, he happens to also be known to be a touch frantic at times, as his excitement takes over. This silly character's signature statement is "I'm okay", which he declares after he bumps into someone, or something!

Chase is definitely far less silly! He's a rather serious German Shepherd that sees his responsibilities through without hesitation or distraction. He leads the team of dogs with his athleticism, and loves to be in full control of the less experienced pups when they are out and about on their missions.
Chase drives the traffic truck and is often seen directing traffic as well. He's well put together until he is faced with is allergies. Chase is allergic to cats, and feathers, making it difficult to interact with characters that fall within that category.
Paw Patrol Character: Rubble
He may be small, but he's mighty! This English bulldog is responsible for construction and has proven himself as being a critical laborer in times of need. He's a hard worker that initially began his life as a stray dog. He was found by the PAW Patrol team and adopted into their community.
Rubble's construction truck looks more like a bulldozer, and in spite of being the youngest pup on the team, he certainly has the biggest appetite of them all. He is terrified of spiders.
