Meet Ruger, everyone! 🐶💖 This charming 47lb, 7-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound is here to steal your heart! Initially a little shy and timid when he arrived at the shelter—poor thing, we know how overwhelming that can be! 😳🏠 But oh, once he was whisked away to a calmer spot, Ruger’s true personality came shining through. He’s a sweet, gentle soul who just wants to soak up all the love you have to offer. Picture this: Ruger, nose twitching with curiosity, exploring the world around him, indulging in that delightful symphony of smells! And let’s not forget about his treat-loving heart; this boy's all about those yummy snacks, especially if they happen to be cat food (yes, you read that right!). 😂🍽️ Ruger is also a fetch enthusiast, and watching him bound after a ball will put a smile on your face! Now, Ruger seems to be a social butterfly with his furry friends, so having other dogs around? No problem at all! 🐕🐕 However, when it comes to cats, we haven’t quite figured that out yet, so if a feline family member is in the picture, a meet-and-greet is a wise idea. Fabulous folks, the process for adopting Ruger is as easy as pie! All serious adopters need to apply through the Buddy App. Yes, yes! Only approved applicants will get to meet him—just like a VIP concert backstage! So don’t delay—get your paws on that application today! 🐾✨
