Ruckus's Story

Ruckus / M / 8Y / Boxer / 80lbs / Fostered in Toronto <br/><br/>Ruckus is a lovable, people-oriented guy who just wants to be by your side — and we mean that literally! Whether you're on the couch, in bed, or out for a walk, Ruckus wants to be right there with you, ideally touching you so he knows you're close. He's the kind of dog who will make you feel like the most important person in the world.<br/><br/>Ruckus absolutely loves walks and being outside, and he's a great travel companion — he rides well in the vehicle, making him perfect for adventures. He enjoys chew toys, the occasional play session, and he's learning to take treats gently. He sleeps soundly through the night, happiest when he's curled up beside his person.<br/><br/>Ruckus does well with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to an active family! He does best with dogs closer to his own size, as he loves to play and can get a little enthusiastic — and with his strength, smaller dogs may find him a bit much. Cats, however, are not the right match for Ruckus, so a cat-free home is a must. Because he hasn't been left alone much, his new family will want to work with him gradually on alone time to set him up for success.<br/><br/>Ruckus is a sensitive soul — he'll let you know when he needs something (food, a walk, outside time) with some vocal reminders! He can be startled by loud noises and thunderstorms. He can be shy when new people enter the home, but does quickly warm up.<br/><br/>He has had a few accidents in the house during his foster stay, so some patience and a consistent routine will go a long way. He is trusted free roaming when left alone.<br/><br/>Ruckus received some important veterinary care while in foster. He had a dental procedure that included removing 21 teeth and several small oral masses — he's all healed up and feeling much better for it! He does have bilateral cruciate disease in his hind legs. After a specialist consultation, surgery is not recommended for him, but he is managing well on daily meloxicam and is getting around comfortably.<br/><br/>Ruckus is a strong, devoted companion who is ready to be your shadow. If you're looking for a loyal dog who just wants to love you and go on adventures together, Ruckus might just be your guy. Could you be the forever home he's been waiting for?<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Ruckus, please complete an adoption application on our website
