Ruger (Roux)- adopted

updated photo in April 2011

Ruger (Roux) is officially adopted.  He went on a 2 week trial.  He is now living on a large farm in Alabama.  For special treats, he gets to swim in the 40 acre catfish pond that is on the farm.  I'm happy for him!

Attached is a photo of his new human (Dawn) and canine (Trevor).  Another photo is of he and Trevor.

From his new momma--

Hey Alicia!
Roux is doing great and has truly found a place in all our hearts! he is as happy as we are with his behavior! We are all here this weekend (my sis and her 2 corgis) and roux has only growled once. He is definitely a keeper! He loves to take off through the hayfield and stir up the birds.  There are a couple pics below of him and trever.  Please keep in touch and I'll do the same.

Roux will be living out side of Selma AL.

Name:  Ruger (Roux)

Gender:  Male

Age:  approximately 5 yrs

Neutered:  yes

Vaccinations:  5/10

Heartworm status:  Positive (asymptomatic)

Temperament:  mild

 

Ruger and his companion Dallas were turned into a parish animal shelter by their original owner after they repeated were found wandering the area.  The animal shelter called us to take these 2 along with 2 other goldens who were there. 

Ruger is a mellow 5 year old altered male.  He is well behaved and has had some training.  He is a gentleman in the house and will not climb on the furniture.  He is crate trained and will fairly easily enter the crate.  He enjoys riding in a car and will lay down for the ride.  He generally does well with other dogs.  He has been taken to a dog park where he happily wandered around visiting other dogs and people.  He will try to get out of the door or gate as soon as it is opened, however; each time he has gotten out while in my care, he has come back when called.  Roux was very well behaved with a young toddler.

Roux has a very thick and long coat which will require daily brushing.  He has a healthy appetite and is a bit overweight.  He is 78 lbs and could stand to lose a few lbs. 

Roux tested positive for heartworms.  He is asymptomatic and will be treated with ivermectin and doxycycline.
