Meet Ruger: A Soul Looking for His Shadow

​

At three years old, this stunning 75-pound silver shadow is the embodiment a Weim—intelligence, athleticism, and a "velcro" personality that means he wants to be part of your everyday life. Ruger is looking for more than just a backyard also a teammate who understands his big heart. He is being returned to rescue due to a change in his families circumstances.

​

Ruger is a brilliant working dog who sparkles when he has job or time running his heart out. Currently, he is a rising star in agility training, where his speed, focus, and eagerness to please are on full display. Watching him navigate a course is like watching poetry in motion; he is quick-witted, highly food-motivated, and finds his greatest joy in the "good boy" that follows a successful run. In the right off-leash settings, his playful and social nature comes to life, showing the world the happy, dog he is at his core.

​

Ruger is a sensitive soul who thrives best when he is part of a pack. He isn't a dog for a traditional 9-to-5 workday away from home; instead, he dreams of a household where the "velcro" goes both ways. He would do best with another confident dog or remote worker at home as he  struggles with being left alone and prefers some sort of company- canine or human. A home with a fenced yard and possibly a dog door would be his dream.

​

While Ruger is a powerhouse of affection, he is easily excitable and needs an experienced and calm hand to guide him. No cats or small animals please and older kids only. (he is fine with them- just a big boy and can run little ones over!) On a leash, he is very excitable and needs work on making this a better experience for him and his human walker.  

Ruger is a dog who needs an experienced Weim person - a brilliant athlete he wants to give you nothing but his  loyalty. If you are ready to show this big, silver-hearted boy that he can finally settle into a routine for you both he will adore you forever.
