My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ruger is a 3 year old Australian Shepherd. Once you are in his circle of trusted people, he will love you so hard! However, he is slow to warm up to new people and will sometimes growl. He has never bit anybody but needs to be supervised until he is comfortable — taking him on a walk helps with new introductions. Roo loves walks, his herding ball, and playing fetch in the pool! He gets along with his “sibling” dog, Cooper, but is aggressive with stranger dogs. He will need to be in a home with no other animals. He’s not overly hyper and likes to sleep/ cuddle. At times, he has dug himself out of the fenced yard. He is primarily an outside dog who sleeps in a crate inside. When inside, he does not have accidents. In the right home, he is a very sweet and loving dog. *paired with Cooper (Aussie) if you’re interested in loving both ❤️
