My name is Ruger!

It is with a heavy heart we are looking to immediately rehome our almost 4yo male German Shepherd “Ruger” (DOB 5/15/2019) to a more suitable environment without the temptation of homestead livestock. Ruger is a healthy, active, good-natured, gentle-with-people <4-year-old purebred GSD who has been a wonderful family dog to our 5 young children even from infancy and gets along with other dogs. He even tolerates our outdoor farm cats, although I would take care before trusting him with unfamiliar cats. He is generally well behaved. He has been an exclusively outdoor dog and knows several commands, including sit, down, shake. In the right home he would be a joy to his family. Unfortunately our environment is not the right one for his high prey drive and he has a history of killing small livestock. A recent incident with a goat has made his time with us necessarily ended. He needs a home with lots of outdoor space but WITHOUT the temptation of chickens or goats.
