Ruger is a German Wirehaired Pointer mix who just turned one in April, so he’s still got plenty of puppy energy and an athletic streak. He’s a friendly, outgoing dog who loves to be right in the middle of family activities and will gladly join in on the fun—especially if a game of fetch is involved. Ruger is comfortable around kids, gets along with other dogs, and can coexist with cats. He’s also house trained and enjoys a good brushing after playtime. Ruger has a protective side and tends to bark when new people approach, but he quickly warms up and welcomes new friends into his circle. He is a talented jumper and will need a committed family to help him work on fencing boundaries and channel his energy. Ruger thrives in an active household that matches his energy and curiosity. If you want an enthusiastic partner for adventures, Ruger could be the right fit. Your new best friend is just one click away.
