Ruckus's Story
Meet Ruckus<br/><br/>Sweet, sweet Ruckus... where do we begin? Ruckus is looking for a home where he can shine on his own time. With love and patience, his true personality will come out—and he will be the most incredible companion.<br/><br/>After his owner passed, Ruckus and three other dogs were left behind, unnoticed. His father died still tied to a chain. In the chaos, Ruckus and his brother broke free—but one by one, his family was taken, leaving him alone... often found sleeping beside his father's body.<br/><br/>A kind neighbor stepped in, and we were able to get him to safety and reunite him with his brother, Rambo. That reunion changed everything. Ruckus slowly began to open up, finding comfort and healing alongside him.<br/><br/>Perks<br/><br/> Sweet, soulful, teddy bear energy<br/> Calm, gentle, and loves quiet companionship and constant touch <br/> Food motivated—treats win him over <br/> Low-key, easygoing homebody <br/><br/>Needs <br/><br/> Flight risk – must be handled carefully <br/> Never unattended in a yard <br/> Crated when alone <br/> Secure leash at all times <br/> NEVER off-leash in unfenced areas <br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Ruckus would thrive in a calm, quiet home with someone who's around often. He loves the simple life—lounging, watching TV, and just being near his person. A secure yard for supervised time is ideal. Quiet walks may come with time, but busy environments aren't his thing. He would LOVE to be adopted with his brother Rambo (please ask!), but understands if that's not possible.<br/><br/>All Ruckus is asking for is a safe place to land and someone to believe in him... could that be you?
