Meet Rye, a sweet senior German Shepherd with a youthful spirit! Don’t let his age fool you—Rye still loves to stay active and would make a fantastic adventure buddy for leisurely walks and outdoor fun. This lovable guy adores belly rubs and will happily roll over for a scratch from his favorite people. Rye is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention during mealtime, as he prefers not to share his food. Because of this, a family with kids 10 and up would be best. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate friend who’s young at heart, Rye is waiting to meet you!
What I Need In a Home: * Kids 10+ mandatory
