Ruckus

My story

Thinking about adding a new dog to your family but aren’t ready to commit to a lifetime of bending down to pet him? Need a living reminder that the kitchen counter is no place for your dinner leftovers? Ever wonder if the time you spend in the bathroom might be more enjoyable with canine supervision? If you answered yes to any of these questions - or even if you didn’t 😉 - meet Ruckus, the wonder puppy! This awesome guy is seven months old, all Great Dane (all the time!), and he’s looking for his forever home. Ruckus enjoys running, playing, high-speed zoomies, snuggling, and eating just about anything he finds. He’s a super sweet puppy that truly believes he belongs wherever you are — couch, kitchen, bed, yard, shower… you name it. Ruckus wants nothing more than to be with his people. This adorable love bug has a heart that’s as big as his appetite. He’s overcome a lot so far in his life - hunger, uncertainty, and fear dominated his first few months. Ruckus still needs some extra help and guidance from his people in overcoming some old habits, like deciding what is and isn’t good for him to eat. He’s still a growing pup and needs people he can lean on - literally and figuratively - that will look out for him as he gets bigger… and bigger… and bigger… Ruckus might be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s the life of the party. He has a ton of energy and needs an active home that can keep up with his on the go nature. Ruckus gets along great with other dogs and would love a home with a canine playmate. He’ll also need a physical fence to safely contain all that goofiness—sometimes he gets so caught up in the fun that he forgets where the party ends. Ruckus is crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands. He’s ready and waiting to be your new best friend!
