Ruger

Hi, my name is Ruger! You have probably seen my face on the website for a while now. I have been here since I was very small and don't really know much else but the shelter. I'm pretty comfortable here since it's like my home, but I also find it kind of scary sometimes. I find lots of things scary—there is so much that I have never had a proper introduction to, and I have never had an owner to teach me that I can still be safe even when I'm scared. Men are especially scary to me, and even though I have some men I am not scared of, and even like, I think a home without them might be better. I would do best in a calmer home, as well, without children. I would be a great dog for someone who lives alone and wants a best buddy to share their space with.

I like lots of things too! I like stuffed toys and cozy beds, and am often found inside napping while the rest of the dogs go play. I like butt scratches and peanut butter, too. I do like other dogs, but sometimes I need my space too. I like bigger dogs over smaller dogs, but I don't have a problem with smaller dogs. I love to run around in the run here, too, and bask in the sun on warm days. On really warm days, I like to play in my pool. I hope you come to see me, I think I'm ready to finally "leave the nest"!
