Meet Ruger – Our Resilient, Tri-Pawed Sweetheart
Beagle/Boxer/German Shepherd mix | 4 years old | 55 lbs | Special Needs

Ruger arrived at the shelter on June 30th, and just one week later, he underwent a life-changing leg amputation on July 7th, 2025. Through it all, he has shown nothing but courage, trust, and a heart full of love.

This handsome boy is a mix of beagle, boxer, and German shepherd—giving him a unique look and a personality that blends curiosity, affection, and loyalty. At about 4 years old and 55 pounds, Ruger is good with adults, children, and even cats, making him a gentle and adaptable companion.

Ruger is a special needs dog due to his recent amputation, but don’t tell him that—he’s adjusting quickly and remains eager to love and be loved. He’s up to date on vaccinations and tested negative for Lyme disease.

Ruger does need some help with house training. With patience, consistency, and a little grace, this sweet soul will catch on.

Ruger is looking for a calm, supportive home that can offer him the guidance he needs as he continues to heal and adapt. He has so much love to give—and he deserves someone who sees his three legs and knows that his heart is still whole.

Could you be the one to give Ruger the second chance he’s been waiting for?
