Meet your new best friend, Ruger!
Ruger landed at a So. Cal. shelter as a stray and no one came looking for him. When his time ran out, we invited him into the Coastal family.
This handsome boy is approximately 4 years old and has gone through training and knows his commands. He is easy to walk on a leash and loves going on long walks. Ruger is good in the house, loves going for car rides, and is an excellent copilot for adventure. He has all the classic GSD traits: affection, loyalty, intelligence, and companionship.
Ruger did not appear to have been socialized with dogs before coming into the rescue. He now does well with mellow dogs and has been attending public adoption events without any incidents. He would be best in a home by himself but could be with a mellow dog if there is structure and leadership to make it work.
If you're looking for a good looking GSD bestie, and can provide him the structure that will allow him to thrive, then meet Ruger who could end up being the canine love of your life.
The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
