RUFFLES - BULLDOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Bulldog / Mixed. Hi, I'm Ruffles, a squatty ball of energy ready to bring joy into your life! I may be compact, but my enthusiasm for wrestling matches knows no bounds. Walks are my absolute favorite – I'm always up for an adventure! Treats are the key to my heart, and my goofy antics will keep you laughing. With strength and energy to spare, I'm not just a dog; I'm your new best friend waiting to be adopted into a loving home. Let's embark on this journey together! Ruffles is a high energy, fun loving guy. He gets excited for his walks and still needs a little help with his manners. This beautiful bully guy was calm and quiet in the kennel and came up the gate to say my hello, he was a bit reluctant to be leashed but once I did he walked out easy, he gave polite tail wags and sniffs to other dogs in the kennels, he is a bit scared of loud barking but I think he’s be just fine outside of barc. He definitely has deformed front ankles but he still walks on them. He is treat motivated and accepted my pets. We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: 4p4l/faqs/ A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - .science/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
