Ruger – Yellow Male, 2 Years, 78 lbs.
Ruger is a typical young Lab with plenty of energy and a zest for life! This big, handsome guy absolutely loves to swim, and when he isn’t napping, you’ll usually find him carrying around a toy, chasing a ball, or trying to convince you to play fetch.
Ruger is both house-trained and crate-trained. He already knows how to sit and is working hard on learning additional basic commands and good manners. When Ruger first came to rescue, he was limping, and we discovered he had a broken toe that ultimately needed to be amputated. Thankfully, that hasn’t slowed him down one bit, and he continues to enjoy all the activities Labs are known for.
Ruger would make a wonderful addition to an active family. While his foster home does not have children, he has been friendly and affectionate with every person he has met so far. Ruger has done very well with the large dogs he has met. His foster family has no small dogs or cats so we are still unsure how he would do at this time.
Like many enthusiastic young Labs, Ruger is still learning leash manners and can pull quite a bit during walks. With consistency and practice, he is making progress.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who is always ready for adventure, Ruger may be the perfect match for you! Apply to online adopt Ruger.
