Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ruger ?? Ruger is a 47lb, 7-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound who’s been quietly winning hearts here at the shelter. He arrived with another dog and was pretty scared and timid at first—shelter life can be loud and overwhelming. But once we got him out of his kennel and into a calmer, quieter space, Ruger showed us who he really is: a sweet, gentle, and lovely boy. Ruger warms up quickly and enjoys human affection. He’s a curious guy who loves to sniff out all the interesting smells around him, and he’s always happy to earn a treat—especially if that treat happens to be cat food (his favorite!). He also loves to play fetch and is thrilled when someone takes the time to engage with him. He doesn’t seem to mind having other dogs around and does well in their presence. We’re still unsure how Ruger feels about cats, so a meet-and-greet would be recommended if there are feline friends at home. We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!
