About Rugby

Rugby is a lively and playful companion who thrives on exercise and adventure. He would truly excel as a hiking buddy, eager to explore the great outdoors by your side. While he is getting the hang of leash manners, he could use some training to walk better on it. Despite his energetic nature, he is also loving and sweet, enjoying cuddles when playtime winds down. Rugby gets along well with other dogs but appreciates his space at times. This medium-sized dog thrives best with access to a big yard filled with toys and hugs. He was found as a stray in the rural areas surrounding Houston, TX, and it's clear he longs for a loving home. Transport arrangements can be made if you’re not in the vicinity. A portion of his adoption fee will help cover this. If you’re interested in Rugby, please text 281-608-2368 for more information.
