Story
Meet Ruckus! Ruckus is a 6 month old chihuahua/lab mix. Ruckus is a perfect size weighing in around 15 pounds. He has longer legs but its the perfect cuddle size....and he sure likes to be a lap dog! Ruckus is well on his way to being potty trained. His foster mom reported today that Ruckus only had one accident today and that was when it was pouring rain outside. So Ruckus is a fast learner. Ruckus is in foster care with multiple canine friends of all sizes and does great. If you'd like to learn more about Ruckus, email therescueinn@gmail.com or complete an adoption application here: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html
