ruckus

Ruckus is searching for the love of his life! This handsome little heartbreaker is one of four pups that came into care underweight, neglected, and poorly socialized. He had little supervision or guidance to teach him about the world around him. Since he was never really sure when his next meal would come, Ruckus tried to eat lots of stuff, including things that aren't food like cloth and rope. Since he's been in foster care he's learned about toys, couches, cuddles, beds, and his absolute favorite - YUMMY FOOD!! Ruckus went from hiding in the corner to running zoomies, playing ball, and snoring with his blankie during nap time. His favorite pastimes are eating, snuggling with his foster mom, and playing with his Weimaraner foster brother. Ruckus still worries about going hungry and hasn't been able to break the habit of swallowing things that aren't for eating, so he needs a lot of supervision to make sure he doesn't eat something that could hurt him. According to his foster mom, Ruckus will eat anything he finds - from sticks, dirt, and rocks to toys, bobby pins, socks, plastic, and just about everything else. He will gladly give up whatever he finds for a treat and has become quite the little trader! Ruckus loves people but he can be a little timid at first. Once he warms up he will be your constant companion. He is crate trained, rides well in the car, and is almost totally potty trained. He knows basic commands and is a super fast learner. In the few short weeks he's been in foster care Ruckus has made tremendous progress and he is gaining more confidence every day. He is a joyful, silly, happy and loving goofball! Ruckus needs a family that will set clear boundaries and will look out for him as he continues to figure out how to be a dog!
