Story
Hi, I'm Ruger! I love playing and running around with my friends! I love dogs of all sizes and I seem to like cats, too! I've been here since I was a puppy (I came here in August of 2022!) so I can be a bit shy with new people but I am so sweet and loving when I know you! I love cuddles and pets! I would do best in a home without small children because I don't understand how big I am and I may knock over small children when I'm running and playing. I find strange men to be really scary but I'm trying really hard to work on that. I may do best in a home without men or at least a home who is willing to help me overcome that. I have lots of energy so I will need someone who will give me lots of exercise! I love swimming in my pool when it's hot out! I really like car rides and I would love to ride away with you!

Story
My name is Baker and I have been here since February of 2025. I am a big guy, but I don't have a lot of energy and prefer hanging out inside with my stuffed toys and cozy bed to being outside running around. I don't like other dogs and much prefer being with people. I can be a little nervous with new situations and get overwhelmed easily, so I think I would like a quieter home with no other dogs and no young kids.
