My story

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

Hi peoples! My name is Ruger and I am a 7 month old Great Pyr/Lab mix. I am a large breed puppy and have been microchipped, am up-to-date on all my shots but not yet neutered.

My foster mommy says I am amazing and sweet. I love sniffing stuff and investigating wherever my nose takes me. I also love chewing stuff up but stop when foster mommy tells me to (most of the time at least).

I get along great with other dogs and just want to play with them. I haven’t been around any cats, livestock or children. Foster mommy says she believes I will be great with kids, but need to be around dog saavy ones because of my size.

I am a very smart boy and foster mommy says food motivated. She has been working with me and I know I have to sit down before she feeds me as well as before I get a treat. She says I have a very gentle mouth when taking treats. I don’t know what that means but I think it’s good thing.

I can play well by myself but I like chasing after toys or balls when my foster mommy tosses them for me. I don’t bring them back yet though I could probably be motivated too. I also love going on long walks or hikes. I know my name and will come back, when I feel like it.

Foster mommy says she wants me to grow up and continue on the path of being the most amazing boy so I will need to be signed up for basic obedience classes.

A note from my foster mommy: Ruger is an awesome boy and loves being close to you and snuggling when he's not playing or invesitigating new smells. He will make an awesome dog. Please fill out a Statement of Interest for him at https://alternativehumanesociety.com/statement-of-interest-dog/
