Ruben Tigre

If you're looking for a puppy who's equal parts cuddle bug, adventure buddy, and goofy best friend, Ruben is your guy! At just 3 months old, this handsome Pit Bull/Labrador Retriever mix (we think!) is growing into one gorgeous pup. With his unique little brown spots, warm hazel eyes, adorable pink-speckled nose, and floppy ears, he's impossible not to fall in love with. His sweet face is guaranteed to melt hearts wherever he goes. Ruben is being raised in a loving foster home with other dogs, and he absolutely loves having canine friends. Whether he's chasing his buddies around the yard, wrestling during playtime, or sharing toys, he's happiest when he's surrounded by friends. He's playful, social, and has the joyful, carefree spirit every puppy should have. His favorite place to be, though, is right in your lap. Ruben is a total lovebug who hands out endless smooches and never misses an opportunity to cuddle. If you're sitting down, he'll happily volunteer to be your weighted blanket. One thing that makes Ruben extra special is how wonderful he is in the car. He is the perfect little passenger, happily sitting beside you and taking in the sights. Whether it's a trip to the park, a hike, a pup cup run, or a weekend getaway, Ruben is always ready for his next adventure. Ruben has the sweetest heart, the happiest personality, and so much love to give. He'd do wonderfully in a home with another playful dog or as the center of attention in a family ready to include him in all of life's adventures. If you're searching for a best friend who will make you laugh, cover you in kisses, and happily ride shotgun wherever life takes you, Ruben is ready to meet you.
