Story
Please contact Karen (krun11@sbcglobal.net) for more information about this pet.RUGERRuger is currently being fostered in BENTON, ARKANSAS RUGER is an amazing dog. He turned 1 year old on 12/17/23, so he's almost 1 1/2 years old, and still so loveable with the puppy still in him. He is an amazing, incredible puppy dog, so trainable, and so fun! He is HOUSEBROKEN, YAY!! He has been neutered, had all of his puppy shots, etc... a copy of all meds he received is on a spreadsheet I make - one for you, and one for your veterinarian. Ruger has lots of energy, but he will chill out if you are trying to watch your favorite TV shows. If you are laying on the couch & want to cuddle with him, all he asks from you are tummy rubs :) Ruger is just so happy that he was saved and loved. Ruger weighs about 45 pounds. He has grown into a very intelligent, handsome, loving young puppy/dog, and is probably at his adult weight.. Ruger is very intelligent. I taught him if he would go outside and do his business, then when he came back into the house, he had to 'sit', then 'lie down' then he would get his treat. So NOW he comes in, does 1/2 of a sit, and just plops on down onto the floor. He's a super smarty pants by skipping the 'sit' part. But he will still 'sit' if that's all you say. He is just so smart!! He knows 'sit', 'down', 'out', 'pepe-poopy', 'shake', 'down' and 'off' and he will not jump up on you. I have neuropathy, and if he jumps up on me, down I go onto the floor. So he comes in, and immediately sits in front of me, never jumps on me, so then he gets lots of loving :) Ruger is totally housetrained. He will come to whatever room you are in, then leave, then come back, then leave. That means he needs to pp or poo. If you do not take or let him out, then there could be pp or poo on your floor :) So you should have no problems with him going potty in your house if you just watch him.. Also, if he is on a schedule, that would be ideal. I've never had him in a crate, just because my hands and feet will not co-ordinate to put one together. I feel he will be OK in one, because he loves his Igloo outside, and if he's napping, and if I open the door and say 'Come in sweetie', he just looks at me like 'No, I'm comfy and was taking a nap you silly person.' Ruger loves all people - men, women and children - and loves all the other dogs too, but a female dog close to his age would be best, because he would have a playmate :) 2 males together tend to bossy, trying to see who's the boss... He also loves being the 'only' dog, so he will fit into any forever home. He has not been around cats, but he will learn that cats are the bosses of him - or - maybe one could be his new best friend! Ruger is one of the most amazing young dogs that I have fostered. He learns tricks in 15 minutes, and does not forget them. I use a hand command with every command. He needs kids to play with, or a very active adult. I was thinking of keeping him, but I can't walk or run or even drive (yet) with these numb feet and legs I have now, and it is not fair to him, because he wants to play with me so badly. His adoption donation is $250 which pays some of the veterinarian bills for all the medical care he has been given. He has been neutered, and has all his puppy shots, rabies, etc... The transport leaves Arkansas on different dates, so they will call and set this up, or I can do it for you. http://www.TiggersTexasTransport.com is the awesome transport that we use now. Their transport cost is $200 which is not included in the adoption donation, as we are separate organizations. They will take such great care of Ruger on his way to you and make sure that he arrives safely. This boy will love you so very much, and be so very loyal to you forever. He is a great guard dog too. He barks if you may be at the rear of the house and don't hear someone knocking at the door, or pulling into the driveway. He runs up there, barks, and comes back and looks at you like, 'COME ON!' *These pictures were taken in January. I will try my best to get new ones, and a video too, hopefully. Please email krun11@sbcglobal.net for an application or for any questions or concerns. TRANSPORT: ** The transport says go to: www.google.com/maps and draw the line between Niagara Falls, NY, and NY City, NY, and they deliver beneath that line. You are welcome to drive if you want to and meet them wherever they say if you drive... you will be provided with their cell numbers, and their email is: email: tiggerstexastransport@yahoo.com We will figure this out together, and with the transport!May 26, 2023, 4:35 pm
