Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Adopted Jan 2025. Was approx 5 months at that time. He is crate trained. Current vaccinations and heart wormed monthly with Simpatico.
Must rehome due to two other small nervous dogs don’t tolerate his playfulness and herding. One of the smaller dogs has heart failure and special needs and is very sensitive to Ruger’s aggressive playfulness and size difference.
Will send nice crate with him. He knows multiple commands and is very friendly. Loves to play ball. He does have a herding tendency which could be encouraged. I have to let him outside to potty separately from the smaller dogs as he likes to keep them on the patio. Ruger is a good dog just not a good fit for us with the two smaller dogs, one is highly anxious and the other having health problems.
Free to good home.
