My story

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

Meet Ruckus- A Happy-Hearted Goofball

Don’t let the name fool you — Ruckus is a total lovebug! This gentle boy is all heart and tail wags. The moment he sees you, his happy tail kicks into overdrive, and he’ll be right at your side, ready to shower you with kisses.

Ruckus loves playing with his canine companions! He has made several at the shelter who he gets to have regular playdates with. Friends who are okay with a little bit of a silly personality is all he needs!

Ruckus is quite the athlete, being able to go for mile long walks. An afternoon stroll through a forest preserve is an exciting adventure! He is down for rain, shine, cold, or warm!

Ruckus is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. He loves to romp around with his favorite cactus toy (it’s his absolute treasure), but he’s just as happy to snuggle up and enjoy some quiet time with his favorite humans.

Ruckus would thrive in a home without younger kiddos, as he can be a bit shy with smaller friends. A quieter, calmer home that fits his vibe is his dream!

Ruckus's Favorite Things:
His cactus toy!
Chin scritches
Snuggles
Playtime

Cues Ruckus Knows:
Sit
Touch
Come
"Let's go"
"This way"

Ruckus is an All-Star dog, and her adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start. To learn more about Ruckus or to schedule an appointment to meet her, please email info@ahconnects.org (including your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to assist you.

Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Ruckus, while he waits for his forever home!
