My story

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


Ruger is an 8 year old good boy that deserves someone who can give him the attention and play time he needs. He is pure bred, papered, and able to breed. His biggest issue is coming inside when play

He use to get along with other animals running around and playing at the dog park. He has not been socialized with other animals in a long time besides our female. We are looking to hopefully re-home them both but they do have a resource hoarding issue that we haven’t been able to correct on our own.

Ruger loves people and does not understand personal space taking every opportunity to snuggle thinking he is a lap dog.

With us having a 6 month old, working, and remodeling our house on our own, I do not have the free time to give the dogs the life they need.
