My story

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

~~THIS IS A COURTESY POST. THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. ALL INQUIRIES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT kendallfox4@gmail.com THANK YOU!! ~~

Meet Ruger, a lovable and playful companion who is ready to find his forever home! Ruger will be four years old in October and is great with both dogs and kids, making him a perfect addition to any family.

Ruger's affectionate nature shines through in his interactions, as he loves to be around people and other dogs. However, he does have some separation anxiety and will need a family that can provide him with the support and attention he needs.

Ruger weighs around 70 pounds and is potty trained, but his anxiety can sometimes lead to accidents if he is left by himself for too long. Additionally, he could use some training on the leash and with jumping, as he gets very excited. Ruger is also microchipped for added peace of mind. He is due for an annual exam as well as leptospirosis and bordetella vaccines.

Ruger's behavior around cats is unknown, so a careful introduction would be necessary if you have feline friends. With a little patience and understanding, Ruger will be the most loyal and loving friend you could ask for. If you are looking for a devoted companion who will fill your days with joy and affection, Ruger is the perfect dog for you.

Please note that Ruger is not in the care of the Alternative Humane Society. Any inquiries should be emailed to kendallfox4@gmail.com. Give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves!
