Rueger is awesome. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has a happy tail the entire time. He met the doggie sitter's small dog, Little Belle, and she was barking & being her usual noisy self, Rueger could have cared less! When he was exploring he found the cat, she made her cat noises & escorted him out of her room. The cat guarded her door & Rueger pretty much laughed at her “don’t worry lady, I don’t play with cats, ya’ll stink funny” look and continued on with checking out the new place.

Rueger went & sat by the door & had the best time outside rolling in the snow with Retriever Wilma. Even though the snow drifts are high next to the fence, he was more interested in coming back inside to warm up his footsies.

Rueger informed me that there were some “rumors out there” last fall that he had been “allegedly digging under the fence”. He claims that was a one time thing & “promises it was a misunderstanding”

You’d never guess he was ever injured or barely surviving one day to another, he loves humans! All humans, big & small, boys & girls, young & old! He is a very grateful & easy going guy who is excited to find his forever family & show them how happy life can be!

When Rueger first arrived:
Hi, my name is Rueger! My foster parents and siblings all say that I'm a sweet and gentle young man. It took me a bit to warm up to the idea of being with a family who loves me and lets me spend time indoors with them. I didn't quite know how to act, but now I'm finding that this family thing is pretty great! My foster family consists of a Mom & Dad, two kids who like to give me kisses and snuggles, 2 dogs & 2 cats. Boy, are cats fun to chase! I mean, I don't want to hurt them, but it's a fun game to run after them! You know what else is fun? Digging! I'm so good at it I got out of the fenced yard. Apparently, foster parents don't think that is fun. Now I'm in detention and have to be tied up in the yard. I'm still pretty happy tho because I get lots of space to play and food in my bowl every morning and night. I also get to go on walks to get my sniffs in and leave my scent all over town. Even though my foster family is awesome, I am SO EXCITED to find my forever family! I am pawsitive I can make "my people" happy.
