About Rucker

Rucker is a 5-year-old, 90 lb Black and Tan Coonhound/Lab mix looking for a foster or forever home. He came to us from an overcrowded shelter and is ready to find his family. This sweet and goofy guy is treat motivated, can already sit on command, and enjoys exploring during walks. Rucker embodies the curious and independent spirit of a hound, but he's not a howler—he's relatively quiet for his breed. Currently, Rucker is on a weight-loss journey, having arrived a bit overweight. His future home should be committed to providing regular exercise and a healthy diet to help him shed those extra pounds. Daily walks and adventures are essential for his well-being. Rucker has interacted well with other dogs and would appreciate having a compatible furry friend but can also be your loyal adventure buddy as an only dog with sufficient socialization. He’s strong, so his new family should be prepared for the energy that comes with larger breeds. Rucker is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to join a loving home that values exploration, health, and companionship. Click apply to start the adoption process.
