About Ruger
Ruger is a lively, handsome four-year-old Doberman Pinscher with plenty of spirit and loyalty to spare. He thrives on being close to his people—if you want a velcro Doberman who shadows your every move, Ruger checks that box. Ruger cherishes long walks, family time, and quiet evenings at home. He finds pure joy tearing around the yard, particularly if there’s a soccer ball to chase, and he’s always up for a good game or a belly rub. Ruger’s learned to enjoy baths (medicated, at the moment for his slow-growing coat), and he’ll hop in the tub on his own. As for the household, Ruger needs someone committed to continuing his valley fever treatment and his bath routine, but he makes up for it with affection and devotion. Ruger is house trained, fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He’s not a match for a home with cats—he chases them too much. Small kids make him nervous, though he bonds well with older children who understand his boundaries. While he gets along with dogs in his current home, introductions must be managed slowly—Ruger can sometimes be the boss. If you have the patience and respect for his space, Ruger will reward you with loyal companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
