Ruger
Meet Ruger! Are you looking for an adventure partner who can cuddle up with you after a long day of fun? Look no further! Ruger is an 8 year old blind Pit mix and he is ready for the next chapter in his life. Let me tell you all the wonderful things about your new best friend. Ruger has lived with multiple other dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats and bunnies. He did well with them all and would likely prefer a home with another dog to keep him company. Because of his blindness, he may accidentally step on smaller animals so a home with dogs of his similar size would be the best fit. Ruger LOVES hiking, swimming, fetch, and car rides. He is a very active boy and needs an equally active family. It is smartest to keep him on leash at first until he can sniff out the new terrain and get comfortable with his new surroundings. Ruger is extremely affectionate and lives for cuddles. He wants to be close to his people whenever possible. He has always done well with all people, including children, but now that he is getting closer to his golden years, it is required he go to a home with children at least 8 years or older. He spooks easily due to his blindness. Ruger really loves his home space and can sometimes be protective of that, so proper introductions to visitors in the home is very important. Due to his sight impairment, Ruger is not the most graceful dog and must be closely supervised when near cliffs, unstable ground, or fast moving water. Ruger has been very well loved in his current home, so we hope he will be loved an equal amount in his new home.

Our Vetting policy
Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.
Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.
Our Rehoming Policy
While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home you may list your pet on our site for free until you identify a suitable placement. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care. You will need to find an appropriate solution to safely and humanely continue care for the animal while looking for a new owner.
