Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RUCA
This stunning 3 1/2 year old boy is mix of two great Portuguese breeds: a Podengo and a Serra de Aires (Portuguese sheep dog). Ruca loves people and previously lived in a home; he came to the shelter in Portugal after his owner passed away. The staff is absolutely in love with Ruca, especially endearing are his constant requests for belly rubs, but we'd love to get him back into a home as soon as possible. He's had a lot of changes in his three and a half years, and we're committed to making his next home the one he can thrive in for the rest of his life.
* Fast Friends adopts in the New England area. If you are interested in Ruca or one of our other available dogs, please complete an adoption application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. Ruca has not been tested for compatibility with cats.
