Rucker’s story is one of incredible resilience. At just 1.5 years old, this sweet Bully mix has already faced more than his share of hardship — he came to us as a stray after being shot for eating chickens as a roaming stray. As a result, Rucker had to have a front leg amputated… but don’t feel sorry for him, this boy is unstoppable.
Now fully healed and thriving, Rucker is all about love, play, and second chances. He’s incredibly dog friendly and loves to romp around with his four-legged buddies, though plays rough/rowdy. (Sorry — no chickens or cats for this guy!) He’s also has the affectionate, people-loving personality that makes him an instant favorite wherever he goes.
Rucker is fully crate trained and house trained, with excellent house manners. He even sits patiently and waits for you to clip on his leash before heading outside. And don’t think for a second that having three legs slows him down. Rucker tackles stairs with ease, leaps onto the couch for cuddles, and has discovered a deep love for lake life. He’s currently being fostered lakeside and lives for swimming and splashing around.
Cuddly, confident, and incredibly sweet, Rucker doesn’t know a stranger and is always ready to make a new friend — human or dog. His past may be rough, but his future is nothing but bright.

Rucker is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at www.jasperslegacy.org/apply-to-adopt
Adoption process:
Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved.
From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption.
Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption.
