My story

My ex and I adopted Ru when he was 10 weeks old and when me and her split I kept him. He is now 7 years old. I should have gotten him training when he was young but I failed to do so. I was abld to teach him a few tricks and house train him on my own but unfortunately he developed pretty bad anxiety. He's a great dog when he's relaxed and calm but his anxiety gets triggered pretty easily, for example: if he heres or sees someone outside, or if someone comes to the door. I now have a wife and 2 kids, which he does great with. However his anxiety has become too much for us to handle and causes us alot of stress. With proper training and exersise I belive he could be an amazing dog. He loves to snuggle and run. Ru needs someone who can give him lots of exersise and get him training and unfortunately we do not have the time or finacial abilty to do so.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ru, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
