About Ruger
Ruger has clocked nearly 400 days in rescue and is still waiting for his first real inquiry. Energetic and food-motivated, he brings a lot of heart and loyalty to the table and thrives in homes where play, adventure, and outdoor time are daily rituals. He lights up during any kind of active playāfetch, jogs, or simply romping with other dogs after a proper introductionāand winds down nicely, eager to curl up for a cuddle. Older kids (8+) do well with him, but Ruger isnāt a fit for homes with young children or any cats. His prey drive is strong, and heās happiest as the center of attention. For mealtimes or treat training, a crate is a must (and it needs to be heavy-duty metalāheās smart and persistent). Ruger wants a person or family who appreciates a fiercely loyal, fun-loving dog and is prepared to manage a 50lb+ bundle of energy. Heās crate-trained and house trained. Ruger has a unique, distinctive bark, and heās easily won over by treats. After his exercise, thereās nothing he loves more than to sit close and soak up affection. His story began after being found abandoned, but since then, heās shown nothing but a forgiving and loving spirit. As a Gemini, Ruger brings curiosity and a dynamic, friendly nature to everything he does. He is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, with his paperwork in order. Ruger is in Claridge, PA and is ready to become someoneās loyal sidekickājust make sure youāre up for his energy and optimism. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
