Ryder is one of my favorite rescue dogs at Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue of San Diego. Due to unfortunate circumstances, his owner had to return Ryder to Coastal K9. He was heart broken. We promised Ryder’s owner that we would give Ryder extra TLC and help him find a new forever family. Ryder is such a sweetheart. If we had room, I would love to bring him home. Check out the video below to learn more about this wonderful boy. ❤️🐶❤️
