Ruger - NY - Male , baby- ADOPTED!

 Ruger and he has been living with his foster family for a just a few weeks now. When Ruger first came to us he was extremely scared and timid of his surroundings, but after a few hours he began to bond & warm up to both myself and my husband. He likes to be with us and follows us around the house.  After he realizes that we are not leaving him alone he will settle down either by your feet or on a soft dog bed we have.

Ruger does sleep in his crate all night but he likes to be in view of his foster family to know that he is secure and safe. He is learning his basic commands each day and is getting better with listening and obeying.  He does walk on a leash and we are training him to stay by our sides and not to pull. Ruger is still working on his potty training and is getting better as the days go by>  Unfortunately he had no one to train him.

He is living in foster with 5 cats and another Corso.  Although he is fine with them Ruger wants and needs all the attention a family can give him and he does not like to share that if he does not have to. He is curious about the cats but when we tell him no, he will back off and not bother them. If Ruger were to go to a home that has another dog, he needs the same equal love and attention given to him, since for his first 9 months he did not receive this from anyone.

When it comes to meal time he is in 7th heaven. Ruger has learned that after eating and drinking he is to have his face wiped and will let you with no issues, as well after he comes in from a walk or running around. He has learned that all 4 paws are to be wiped before he is able to enter the home.

Ruger is cautious when a stranger does enter the home.  He just needs time to figure out who the person is coming into his surroundings.

Ruger needs to be in a loving and caring home where his new family will have patience and continue to work with him.
