My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

n to the gums.
This does not hinder him from eating or protecting his family.
Ryder was adopted two years ago by a family that lived in the country. Ryder bonded very strongly to this family, but especially to the two young boys.
When the neighbors would get close to their property Ryder would go bark and protect his home, though sometimes he would protect it so well he would wander up on the neighbor's property.
The neighbors were terrified of Ryder and took out their frustration on him. Ryder's adopters thought it best that he come back to rescue as it was for his best interest. Ryder was devastated to lose his family, however he is now back with his foster family and doing great.

Ryder is the perfect dog! Fully housebroken, excellent house manners, does not need to be crated (though he is crate trained).
Ryder is cat friendly and he absolutely adores children.

Ryder is looking for a family to devote his life to. A family that is wanting a faithful shadow to follow them and protect them and give him the love he so desires and deserves.

He is not an active GSD, though he will play at times and loves going on walks. He is happiest right at your feet. He is an indoor dog, not an outdoor dog. He wants to be wherever you are, if you're inside he's inside if you are outside he's outside.

If you are interested in making Ryder apart of your family please contact us today!
