Ruger Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Neillsville, WI

Meet Ruger! Ruger came to CCHS as a stray. He was born around 3/1/2021 and weighs close to 50 pounds. We were told that he came from an Amish farm but they didn't want him back because he liked to chase everything. Ruger is a focused dog. He would do best in a home that has a job for him to do. It may not be working cattle as we're not sure if he did that or just ran after everything on the road. He is a by your side companion, but isn't a lap dog and doesn't want to be held. His purpose in life is to watch over you and chase away the bad stuff. He was adopted and returned due to the adopters failing health. The family felt a home without kids would be best for him as he does nip, a trait that is typical for a Heeler. He was great in the home and rides well in a car. He loves to go for walks and play with a jolly ball toy. Apply for him today!
