RUGAR

Meet Ruger 🐾

Ruger is a 2-year-old sweetheart who’s finally getting a second chance at life. For his entire life, he lived outside on a chain, with very little opportunity to experience the comfort and security every dog deserves. Despite that, Ruger’s heart remains gentle and kind. After his original owner passed away, Ruger was taken in without proper permission and sadly experienced a traumatic dog attack. Through no fault of his own, he’s endured more than most dogs ever should. Thankfully, with the proper approval from Animal Control, Ruger and the other dog from the property were safely brought into rescue. He’s simply scared. The world is very new and overwhelming to him, and he’s still learning that he’s safe.

Ideal Home

Ruger needs a calm, patient foster home — a quiet place where he can decompress, feel secure, and begin to trust at his own pace. He doesn’t need much: just consistency, kindness, and someone willing to show him that life can be soft and safe. A fenced yard is great. No small children.

Ongoing Health

Ruger has been neutered.

Training & Support

He will need a heeler savvy person, with patience who can work with him and get him readjusted to the world. He is housebroken and kennel trained with food. Working on willingness to crate without food. He is high energy. He will kennel for hours without problems. Has LOTS of energy when free but settles very nicely after a an hour if so of play time outside.
