RUGAR***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com RUGAR--OUR GENTLE GENTLEMAN--LOVING--LOYAL--A TREASURE!!! RUGAR'S STORY--WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL OF RUGAR'S STORY, WHERE RUGAR THE 5 YEAR OLD, BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, YELLOW LABRADOR SPENT THE FIRST YEARS OF HIS LIFE. WHEN RUGAR WAS LOST WHERE WAS HIS FAMILY?? WHY WAS THERE NO ONE FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR THEIR FAMILY MEMBER?? WHY WERE THERE NO FLIERS POSTED, VETS CALLED, NEWSPAPER ADS RUN, URGENT CALLS TO THE LOCAL SHELTER??? FOR IF RUGAR'S FAMILY WOULD HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL SHELTER THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND RUGAR. THIS GENTLE FELLOW WAS INDEED IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH KILL SOUTHERN SHELTER. HE WAS FOUND WEARING A BEAUTIFUL COLLAR WITH NO TAG, HE WAS IN A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION, A PLACE HE DID NOT BELONG!!! THE CALL TO US WAS URGENT, THE SITUATION WAS URGENT, FOR RUGAR NOT BEING A BOUNCY, WIGGLY PUPPY OR A 1 YR. OLD YOUNG ADULT RUGAR HAD VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF EVER LEAVING THAT SHELTER. WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TELLING US THAT RUGAR WAS THERE AND THE DIRECTOR WAS PLEADING FOR OUR HELP. "HE IS THE MOST GENTLE AND LOVING FELLOW, SO WELL BEHAVED WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS" SHE TOLD US THAT THIS GENTLE GUY WAS SO SAD, CONFUSED, UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS BUT MOST OF ALL WHY??? SHE SAID THAT RUGAR JUST LAID IN THE CORNER OF HIS CAGE, EYES CLOSED WONDERING WHERE HIS FAMILY WAS?. ONCE WE HEARD ABOUT RUGAR WE COULDN'T GET TO HIM FAST ENOUGH, WHEN WE REACHED DOWN, GAVE RUGAR A PAT, AND SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL HEAD, LAID IT IN OUR HANDS AS IF HE WAS ASKING US TO HELP HIM!!!! RUGAR LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, TAIL WAGGING, EYES TWINKLING AND A FACE THAT TRULY SEEMED TO SMILE. FATE GAVE US RUGAR THAT DAY, A TRUE TREASURE. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BEEN SEEN IN THE FACE AND EYES AND THIS IS SO TRUE WITH RUGAR. HIS GORGEOUS, GENTLE FACE DOES TELL A STORY, THE STORY OF A TRUE COMPANION PUP WHO HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY--THE FAMILY WHO NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO COME LOOKING FOR HIM--HE WAS BETRAYED. IN SPITE OF THIS RUGAR'S FACE HOWEVER TRULY DOES SEEM TO SAY "I LOVE YOU". RUGAR IS AS LOVING AND GENTLE A GUY AS YOU WILL EVER MEET BUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT RUGAR IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE IS A PUP WHO LOVES DEEPLY AND FOREVER. ALTHOUGH RUGAR DID NOT DESERVE THIS DISLOYALTY FROM HIS FAMILY, DESPITE THIS TRAGEDY AND WHAT ALMOST ENDED HIS LIFE HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" NEVER MEETS A STRANGER FROM CHILDREN TO SENIORS. HE WILL GREET YOU WITH HIS OTTER TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING, GIVING YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M RUGAR, NICE TO MEET YOU".

RUGAR IS A PUP THAT CAN HOLD HIS OWN AND WILL ROMP AND PLAY WITH THE BEST OF THEM, HOWEVER HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN IT IS TIME TO BE CALM AND WILL SETTLE DOWN CONTENT JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES, BEAUTIFUL MANNERS!!(HE'S ALSO FINE WITH CATS). YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOU MEET RUGAR THAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF A FAMILY. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH RUGAR, JUST AS LONG AS HE IS WITH YOU. HE WOULD BE A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS HE ADORES THE OUTDOORS AND IS FLAWLESS ON LEAD. RUGAR WILL "PRANCE" ALONG, HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING. RUGAR HAS A SMOOTH, FLOWING, GRACEFUL GAIT AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE IT'S AS IF HE IS FLOATING ON AIR!! RUGAR IN MOTION IS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.
