Notes from PAWS UP PET RESCUE INC
Meet Ruger
Ruger is a handsome, intelligent boy who has really started to show us who he truly is. At first, his intense personality and barrier reactivity toward certain dogs made us cautious, but as he’s settled in, we’ve seen a completely different side of him emerge.
Ruger has done wonderfully with several dogs in playgroups, Watching him play for the first time was such a rewarding moment! Even when another dog got overly excited around treats, Ruger stood his ground appropriately and did not react negatively. He seems to thrive once he knows and trusts his “pack.”
He is great with people, walks well on leash, and is very food motivated he’ll happily come inside for a treat after yard time. Ruger would do best with proper introductions and continued structure.
Ruger is around a year old and 45lbs is looking for someone who understands that some dogs just need time, trust, and consistency to shine. Underneath his tough exterior is a loyal, smart, and really special dog ready for his chance at a forever home!
Ruger was also abandoned at the kennel by the rescue that pulled. He is safe but the boarding kennel isn't a forever home. If youre interested in Ruger please message us and we can help
