About Ruger:
Ruger is a handsome 4 year old Chow/Shepherd mix who was out on the steets for at least a few days on his own; the weather was becoming colder and he eluded capture on multiple occasions before finally being grabbed up by Animal Control and brought to us to find a new home. He was found with a thick, worn out collar and heavy duty clasp attached, but was never reclaimed. We aren’t sure if he had an owner who loved him once or not, but he definitely is ready to experience a life full of love! Ruger is a sweet, gentle boy who is petite in size and his coat is the most gorgeous red we’ve ever seen on a dog! He may seem a little shy in new situations but warms up fairly quickly. He enjoys the company of other dogs more than anything and is really enjoying having a comfortable bed of his own. Ruger is usually quiet, but we have heard him bark on occassion. He tends to keep his kennel space pretty clean. He really is a pleasant guest at our Haven, but we would love to get him into a home soon! We think he would do well in a home with children but would do best without cats. Ruger is capable of jumping a standard chain link fence with ease; adopters should understand that precautions should be taken to keep him in!
