Ruckus is a 12-year-old, 10-pound Toy Poodle with a heart as big as his personality. After his owner passed away, he found himself in the shelter through no fault of his own. Despite that difficult transition, Ruckus has remained incredibly sweet, loving, and eager to bond with his people. Ruckus is the definition of a companion dog. He loves being around his humans and hasn't met a person he doesn't like. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, running errands, or getting ready for bed, Ruckus just wants to be by your side. He's a wonderful cuddle buddy, sleeps through the night, and has been very well behaved when accompanying his foster on outings. He's also a smart little guy who already knows the commands sit, lay down, and stay. He is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and has low-medium exercise needs, making him an excellent match for someone looking for an easygoing companion. While he is currently the only dog in his foster home, he has done well with other dogs he has met. He has had limited exposure to children, but all interactions have been positive. His experience with cats is unknown. Because Ruckus loves his people so much, he does experience some separation anxiety and will bark when left home alone. He has never been destructive, but he would be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time, such as a retiree, someone who works from home, or a family that can include him in their daily activities. He truly enjoys tagging along and is a wonderful little sidekick. Ruckus has so much love to give and is looking for someone who wants a loyal, devoted best friend. If you're looking for a gentle senior who will happily keep you company wherever life takes you, Ruckus may be the perfect addition to your family! For additional photos, videos, and updates from Ruckus‘ foster home check out his Instagram temporarytailssd. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $200. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
