Ruger is a 2-year-old neutered male who’s just beginning his journey at the shelter and is still figuring everything out. Because of all the new sights and sounds, he can be a little shy at first and may take some time to warm up—but don’t let that fool you. With a little patience and kindness, Ruger’s true personality is sure to shine through. We’re still getting to know how he does with kids, cats, and other dogs, so a slow and thoughtful introduction to any new friends will be important. What we do know is that Ruger has all the potential to become a loyal and loving companion for the right person or family. If you’re looking for a dog to grow with, build trust with, and form a special bond, Ruger might just be your guy.
