Ruger has grown up at the shelter, and most of what he knows comes from this place. He feels comfortable here, but new situations can rattle him, and he often finds the world a bit overwhelming—especially if introduced too quickly. Men often make Ruger anxious, even though a few he likes just fine, so a calm, female-led home is probably his best fit. Ruger should avoid homes with children to help him feel safe, and he’d likely be happiest as a single person’s companion, sharing relaxing days together. He’s got a soft spot for stuffed toys, warm beds, and—above all—peanut butter. You’ll often find him napping while other dogs are busy playing, but he still appreciates time outside to run and bask in the sun, and he won’t say no to a splash in a pool on a hot day. Ruger does get along with other dogs and gravitates more toward larger companions, though he takes no issue with small dogs and sometimes just needs a little time to himself. He’s ready to finally try life outside the shelter and hopes to find someone ready for a loyal, low-key friend. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
