Meet Ruger
Ruger is a loyal, happy, and affectionate boy with the biggest smile you’ll ever see. He absolutely loves his people and thrives on attention and companionship. Ruger is wonderful with kids, has lived safely with a young child, and is known for his sweet, gentle heart.
He’s a high-energy, enthusiastic dog who also enjoys plenty of downtime—napping on the couch, relaxing near his people, and snoozing through much of the day. Ruger gets bursts of excitement when visitors arrive but settles quickly. He is crate trained and does best when he has a safe, cozy space while his humans are away.
Ruger enjoys the company of other dogs and has done well in boarding and social environments. He can be attention-seeking and loves to be involved in everything, making him a great candidate for a home that can provide consistent engagement and one-on-one time. He may do best with sturdy family members, as he can be a bit clumsy and forgets how big he is.
Ruger would thrive in an active home—either as an only dog soaking up all the love or with another dog—where his energy, affection, and big personality can truly shine. He’s an incredibly sweet boy looking for a family ready to give him the time and attention he deserves
