Story
🐶 Meet Ruger!
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: 4 years
Neutered Male | 100 lbs | House-trained | Needs Experienced Adopter
Ruger is the total package—handsome, loyal, goofy, and ready for his forever home! This 4-year-old German Shepherd is a smart, protective, and independent boy who’s happiest when he has a job to do or an adventure to go on. Whether it’s hiking trails, patrolling the backyard, or just chilling near his people, Ruger brings heart and courage to everything he does.
He’s athletic, food-motivated, and resilient—but also has a soft side once he trusts you. Ruger thrives with confident, dog-savvy adopters who understand shepherds and can provide leadership, consistency, and plenty of mental stimulation.
He does well with other dogs and has been great with both adults and kids in the home. He’s housetrained, up to date on vaccines, and neutered.
Not for first-time dog owners—Ruger is best matched with someone who appreciates his breed’s working nature and big heart…
Ruger requires a home with a large backyard and knowledgeable adopters for herding working breeds. He will require daily mental stimulation and enrichment.
Veterinary references are required.

German Shepherd Personality Bio
Loyal, intelligent, and endlessly devoted, the German Shepherd is one of the most versatile dog breeds in the world. Originally bred for herding, they quickly rose to fame as working dogs in police, military, service, and search-and-rescue roles—thanks to their keen senses and unwavering trainability.
German Shepherds form strong bonds with their families and are known for their protective nature. They’re often cautious around strangers but affectionate and playful with their people. With a confident and courageous spirit, they thrive on purpose, structure, and clear leadership.
This breed needs daily mental and physical exercise, and without it, they can become bored or anxious. But given the right environment, they’re the ultimate companion—loyal to the core and always ready for a job, a cuddle, or an adventure.
