rucker #7444

Rucker is a 1 year, 7 month old male Goldendoodle weighing about 65ish lbs

He came to GRRAND from a shelter so we are still learning about him, but Rucker is a fabulous boy who has had a tough life till he came to GRRAND.  He was initially placed by another out of state rescue with an individual who either dumped him or allowed him to get lost, without bothering to search for him.  Animal shelter staff in the area where he was lost tried for weeks to catch him, but he managed to evade them repeatedly.  This shelter’s staff were finally successful in trapping Rucker and got him to safety.  They said that upon arrival he was very terrified, but within a few days seemed to relax and realize that he was finally safe!  Lucky for him, this shelter’s staff is very diligent about where they place their dogs and wanted Rucker to go to a rescue who would assure that he be placed in a home with a secure above ground fenced yard, since he is considered an extreme flight risk.

Since coming to GRRAND’s kennel, Rucker is developing into a happy, social boy who loves people and seems to do well with other dogs. We are looking for a home for Rucker with experienced adults who can keep him safe. He should be a fabulous family member, but having been on the run for so long and so difficult to trap, GRRAND volunteers don’t want to take a chance in placing him in a home with kids who may inadvertently leave gates open or allow him to escape through a door.  Accidents can happen, but we want to take all measures to try to assure that Rucker will never be lost from another home again.

We will update as we learn more, but if you would like to meet Rucker, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
