About Rucker

Rucker is an 8-month-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull mix with a short black and cream coat and a big, goofy grin. He’s always ready to play and loves a good adventure. Friendly and affectionate, Rucker greets everyone with kisses and a wagging tail, and he’s happiest when he’s with people. Rescued after being found in a field, he adapted quickly at the shelter and loves spending time with kids. He gets along with other dogs but needs to meet any housemates first. He's been tidy in his kennel and, with a bit of at-home potty training reinforcement, will transition smoothly to family life. Rucker must be adopted as an indoor dog and is not suited for outdoor-only living. He’s ready for a home that wants an upbeat, loyal companion. Rucker’s adoption fee is sponsored.
