Description:


Sloan has been with us only a short time and he has already nuzzled his way
into our hearts! We call him Rue (Sloan doesn’t seem to fit his
personality) and he is a very mellow, easygoing guy. He is completely
housetrained, kenneled during the workday without any problems and only
requests a soft comfy spot and lots of snuggle time ☺ I think his
pictures don’t do him justice! He has the cutest wrinkle face and the
softest ears and head.



He gets along with the resident dog ( a male who is about his same

size) and I think would do great around kids of any age because of his
gentle spirit. I’m not sure how he would do around cats—he barks at
them when he sees them outside but inside the house I could see him getting
along with them okay. He isn’t into rough and tumble play so a mellower
dog companion would probably be the best fit. In fact, Rue doesn’t seem
to know too much about play or toys at all and would love a family to show
him the ropes!



Rue enjoys being outside and LOVES to go for walks or runs. He does okay on
a leash (no pulling, just lots of sniffing) but gets really excited and
barks when he sees another dog, truck, bus, runner, or biker! He is never
aggressive about his hellos and seems to only be exclaiming—“Hey there!
How’s it going!?!” We are, however, working on this and I’m confident
once he gets used to the neighborhood and we pass enough interesting things
on the street, he won’t find them so interesting anymore or at least
bark-worthy! Because he is very food motivated and just wants to please, I
think he would be easy to train.

Right now, he only knows "sit" but I think he is capable of so much more!



Rue would do great in a home where he can be part a family that will spend
time with him and give him lots of love! He adores his people and just
wants to be near them. I honestly have no idea why someone would have given
him up- he is a great dog and deserves a loving family of his own.
