Ruger is a very handsome 6 year old Black and Tan Coonhound. True to his breed, he is high energy and loves to be the center of attention. Ruger was trained for hunting, loves other dogs, and is neutered. He currently lives with a 3 year old child and an 11 year old German Shepherd, and a cat. He is looking for a new home where he can be walked several times a day or have the run of a large fenced area. Ruger needs obedience training, but does walk well on a leash with a halti. His nose tends to drive the walk without it.
He has no aggression and comes when called. He has been known to counter surf, raid the trash, and steal a bit of food out of the kids' hands when they're not looking. (But hey!---who can blame a guy for passing up an opportunity!) He is a fun loving guy. (And he thinks crates are no fun.)
Ruger is waiting for someone to give him a chance! He has a great personality and a charming hound howl. (To put it bluntly, he is not especially quiet!) Ruger would make the perfect pet with a small investment of daily exercise and some basic training and a routine. Just look at those eyes - - waiting for someone to give him a chance.

Applications are the first step in the adoption process. Please do not call or email simply to express interest. We are all volunteers and receiving your application saves us time and helps to determine the best match for both people and dogs.
We provide as much information as we currently have on each dog in their description. For questions on the adoption process, including fees, please review the Adoption page. If you have additional questions or are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application. Once we receive your application someone will be in touch to answer your questions.
We do not arrange visits to meet dogs without an application. If you'd like to meet a variety of dogs without filling out an application please attend one of our events, listed under the events link.
Thank you!
