Meet Ruger

Ruger is a loyal, happy, and affectionate boy with the biggest smile you’ll ever see. He absolutely loves his people and thrives on attention and companionship. Ruger is wonderful with kids, has lived safely with a young child, and is known for his sweet, gentle heart.

He’s a high-energy, enthusiastic dog who also enjoys plenty of downtime—napping on the couch, relaxing near his people, and snoozing through much of the day. Ruger gets bursts of excitement when visitors arrive but settles quickly. He is crate trained and does best when he has a safe, cozy space while his humans are away.

Ruger enjoys the company of other dogs and has done well in boarding and social environments. He can be attention-seeking and loves to be involved in everything, making him a great candidate for a home that can provide consistent engagement and one-on-one time. He may do best with sturdy family members, as he can be a bit clumsy and forgets how big he is.

Ruger would thrive in an active home—either as an only dog soaking up all the love or with another dog—where his energy, affection, and big personality can truly shine. He’s an incredibly sweet boy looking for a family ready to give him the time and attention he deserves

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
