Ruger

My story

Meet Ruger, a handsome 4 year old boy. We think that he’s a cocker blend with something else, but what? Ruger is a gorgeous chocolate brown with a white chest. He is cocker size, weighing in a 35 lbs. His previous owner said he was a cockapoo, but we don’t see any poodle in him. Ruger is a bit of a shy dog and needs a bit of time to warm up to people. He adores males, following foster dad around. Ruger loves cuddling with foster dad in a recliner. If foster dad isn’t around, Ruger will either lie by you or snuggle in your lap. Ruger is low to moderate energy. Ruger likes playing chase with the female family dog. He was initially apprehensive about walks, but now gleefully dances around when he sees that we’ll put on his harness for a walk around the neighborhood. Ruger loves treats! He will go outside and come right back in just to get a treat. He doesn’t show much interest in dog toys, though. Ruger would be best in a home with teenage or older children, as the activity of young children may be too much for Ruger’s innate shyness. Ruger is largely housetrained. We take him outside at times throughout the day so he can do his business. Sometimes we need to stay outside with him, because he likes to be around people. Walks also help Ruger to do his business. Ruger is 35 lbs, and is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on heartworm preventative. Ruger is available through New England Brittany rescue at www.nebrittanyrescue.org where one can fill out an adoption application. NY rescue RR263
