Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Ruger will be 7 years old in May but still has the energy he had at 2. I’ve had him since he was a puppy and he is a loving dog that just wants to play all the time. He is high drive, high energy. He loves to play fetch with a ball or frisbee and can run for what seems like hours. He’s not great with recall but loves to go on walks with leash. Because of life circumstances I can no longer keep up with him and he deserves a home with someone who can give him the attention he deserves and exercise he needs. He’ll bulldoze over small children but he’d do well in a home with older children that can play with him. He needs a home and owner that can be consistent with him with training, playing, exercise, and love. Preferably he’ll need to be the only dog in the household unless you’re willing to work with his behavior with other dogs. I love Ruger dearly but he deserves more than I can give him at this point in my life.
