About Ruxin

Ruxin is a charming five-year-old Wirehaired Terrier mix with a sleek black coat, weighing about 18 pounds. He needs a new home because his family recently welcomed a human baby, and unfortunately, Ruxin isn’t adjusting well to the change. Though he is affectionate and loves attention, he does not do well with children. Ruxin thrives in a specific environment, requiring a secure, fenced yard to safely chase squirrels and chipmunks. He is a great watchdog, but outside his space, he prefers to be walked on a leash as he can bark at others. Ruxin is house-trained, leash-trained, and knows basic commands like sit and down. He can be quite clingy and would do best with a single adult who can appreciate his loyalty. This devoted companion is ready for someone who will provide the attention and understanding he deserves. Ruxin is fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. The adoption fee is $300. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
