Ruger

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 7 yrs

Steger, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Ruger, a handsome senior German Shepherd with a heart full of love and plenty of energy still left to share! Don’t let his age fool you—this sweet boy still gets excited for adventures, walks, and especially spending time with his favorite people. Nothing makes him happier than seeing someone he loves, and his whole face lights up when he gets the attention and affection he craves. Ruger is looking for a home where he can be your one and only canine companion, as he prefers not to share his space with other dogs. However, he didn’t seem too bothered by cats and may do well with a calm, dog-savvy feline friend given a very slow and careful introduction. This loyal senior is ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family who will appreciate his big personality and even bigger heart. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who still has plenty of life, love, and loyalty to give, Ruger just might be your perfect match. Available at County Line Pet Hospital 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com
