My story

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

Approximate DOB: 7/22/2024
Approximate Weight: TBD

Ruger is a confident, affectionate puppy with a heart of gold. Here's what makes him special:

- Gets along great with other dogs and children, making him a fantastic family companion.
- Medium energy level-ready for fun but also enjoys downtime.
- Confident but not dominant
- Eager to explore the world and meet new people.
- Adores people of all ages and has a sweet, friendly demeanor.
- Known for his adorable "sit" with a relaxed, floppy leg while he people-watches.
- Has a classic hound-style "aroo" when he's excited, adding to his charm.
- Ruger is full of love and excitement, ready to share his golden heart with his forever family
- Working on house and crate manners - he barks initially when crated but settles after a little bit!
As a puppy, I am required to go to training within 90 days of my adoption with a certified trainer.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees.


Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.

We typically have adoption events on Wednesdays 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm, and Saturdays 11am to 3pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process.
