My personality

My story

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

Ruger is a squishy, droopy, super cute puppy that was rescued out of Oklahoma. Snap him up and enjoy the puppy breath and baby face while it lasts!

- DOB 9/19/24 and weighs 15 pounds as of 11/20/24

- Possible breed mix: German Shepherd. He will likely weigh between 60-80 pounds full grown but we cannot guarantee size at maturity.

- Social sweetheart who is confident, loves people and to be held

- Great with other dogs and fostered with one of his littermates and three other gentle adult dogs

- He is so young, it's a great age to socialize him early to live successfully with a cat

- Working on crate training by feeding him his meals in the crate to build a positive association. He does cry in the crate but can settle. He will need continued patience on crate training.

- Still potty training at this young age but he's getting the hang of the routine

- Getting excellent socialization, handling, and nurturing in a foster home setting

We are seeking patient, loving adopters for our puppies who prioritize enrolling in a training/puppy socialization class prior to 6 months old. Puppies are eager to learn at this young, formidable age and committing to training and socialization right away will reap big rewards when they are adult dogs.

Ruger's adoption fee includes 3 rounds of puppy vaccines, multiple rounds of dewormer, microchip, neuter surgery at our partner veterinary clinic close to 1 year of age and a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Milwaukie, Oregon City, Tualatin or Portland. He is current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Additional adoption info

We are a volunteer run organization and try our best to return correspondence promptly, however sometimes there are delays. We appreciate your patience.

The first step to meeting one of our dogs is to fill out an adoption application at www.agavedogs.com.

Once we receive your adoption application we will call you to discuss what dog might be the best match for you. We will connect you with the foster home who has the dog you are interested in adopting. Once you meet the dog, let us know if it is a love match and if you would like to adopt the dog. We will email you an adoption agreement to complete and return.

Our adoption fees range from waived entirely to $550 depending on the dog, age, breed and it's behaviors. Our work to save dogs is supported by our adoption fees and donations. Enjoy your new dog and please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or updates. We love happy photo updates!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our dogs are in foster homes that help them to learn to be good house guests. Our foster dogs thrive in a home environment rather than a scary shelter where they would become stressed. Plus we gain lots of good information about the dog's personalities in a foster home setting.

All foster homes are located within 45 minutes of Portland, Oregon. Once we receive your adoption application and chat with you, we will provide you the foster home's contact information that has the dog you're interested in meeting.
