From Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue

This dog is new to the rescue. More information will be posted as it becomes available. Meet Ryder. If you’re looking for a dog who can match your energy outside and settle beautifully inside, Ryder may be your guy. Ryder is a big, active boy with a playful spirit and an equally impressive ability to switch gears and relax. One minute he’s zooming around the yard with a ball in his mouth, and the next he’s happily headed to his crate to recharge. His owners say one of the things that surprises people most about him is how quickly he can turn his energy off and how gentle he is, especially with older adults. Ryder thrives with structure and clear expectations. He has been raised with consistent boundaries and routines and is crate trained (in fact, he loves his crate and chooses to spend time there throughout the day). He sleeps there at night, settles easily, and uses it as his own quiet space. Despite his size and enthusiasm, Ryder is a very manageable walking companion. He walks nicely on leash, does not pull, and prefers to take his time sniffing and exploring rather than reacting to the world around him. Squirrels? Other dogs? People? Ryder is far more interested in his walk…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
