Ruger's Story

Ruger is a cheerful, people-loving pup whose gentle eyes and warm personality make an instant impression. This sweet, friendly boy is a true gentle giant with a playful spirit and a very affectionate heart. Ruger loves being around people and happily soaks up attention, often leaning in close for cuddles or offering plenty of loving kisses. While he enjoys fun moments and playtime, he's just as happy relaxing beside his favorite humans and sharing quiet companionship. Being a cuddle bug is one of his specialties, and a good butt scratch is guaranteed to earn enthusiastic tail wags. Ruger also knows "sit," especially when treats are involved-he's always eager to show off his good manners for a tasty reward. As a proud Hidden Gems Club member, Ruger is a special pup just waiting for someone to discover how wonderful he truly is and welcome him home.

Adoption Hours Monday: Closed Tuesday–Thursday: 10am–6pm Friday: Noon-7pm Saturday: 10am–4pm Sunday: Closed At our shelter, all dogs must be escorted out on a leash and collar. For smaller dogs, a carrier or crate may be used instead. All cats require a secure carrier for their journey home. Should you find yourself without the necessary supplies at the time of adoption, we offer a selection of basic items available for purchase right here at the shelter. Our adoption process is designed to be thorough yet efficient. It includes an essential meeting with the animal you are interested in adopting. If the animal is prepared to join a new home, you may be able to complete the adoption on the same day. Please note, the process can take up to an hour or longer, particularly if there are specific medical preparations needed for your new pet. We aim to facilitate immediate placements into loving homes, and as such, we no longer offer holds on animals ready to leave the same day.

For residents of Sarasota County, there is an additional $13 fee for a rabies tag and registration.
