My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Ruger, a 4-year-old, 32-pound, sweetheart with a gentle soul and a love for life. I’m a well-mannered guy and even though crates aren’t my favorite, I’ll hop in without too much of a fuss. I’m all about good manners – no jumping here – I prefer to sit politely for some loving pets.

Baths are a breeze for me, and I don’t mind a blow-dry to keep me looking my best. Car rides are my jam; I might pant a bit from excitement, but I’ll settle down and enjoy the ride. I’m a friend to all – dogs, cats, and humans alike. Whether you’re up for an adventure or a lazy day, I’m your companion. I set the pace to match yours, always ready for a hike or happy to lounge around.

Cheese slices? They’re my absolute favorite treat! I’m food-driven, which makes training a treat for both of us. I know how to sit, especially when I’m in the mood, and playing ball or with squeaky toys is the highlight of my day. I’ve never been one to destroy or chew on things; I’m too busy enjoying the simple pleasures, like snuggling and being close to you.

I admit, hallways seem a bit daunting, but with you leading the way, I’ll bravely follow. I might be a bit shy around men at first, but I warm up quickly and then it’s all love. I’m the kind of dog who’s been through a lot, but I’ve got so much love to give. I’m great on a leash, content sleeping in my crate, and I’m potty trained – just let me out and I’ll do the rest.

I was found as a stray, but that hasn’t dampened my spirit. I’m a loving, herding, snuggling pro with a cute stubby tail that wags with joy. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s ready to fill your home with love and happiness, look no further. I’m Ruger, and I can’t wait to start our life together. I am located in Maryville, TN but can be transported to other states for the right adopter.
