I'm special

I'm Ruger

I was adopted June 2nd this year.  

My Dad....I think he really loves me!

I was found on the NDR website by my now Dad when his heart was in pieces.

He is such an animal lover.  He treats all furry kids like babies ❤️

He was looking because his last dog was his absolute shadow and bestie.

He rescued him as well.   Apparently he was a dog celebrity up here and was known by name and that he was a loving gentle giant

My Daddy applied to NDR through the Companionship Initiative.

He spoke with this amazing woman who is now my aunt. I call her Aunt Dianne, but you may know her as Dianne Cartmell

She understood my Dad's pain and how he had so much love to give.

I was in Alabama when my Dad found me on the super easy to use NDR website.

I was in the "special needs" section as well....I don't like to talk about that part of my life but....I was wandering Alabama with a terrible eye injury.

Someone was watching over me....maybe it was my Dad's late mother....but an angel guided me to safety and care.

I now have 1 eye but I am 100% healthy.

I've adapted to things especially here in my wooded playground.

My Dad really believes in me...so much that he is trusting his OSI to me as his "service dog"

I AM 1/2 DONE!!!!!    

I finish in October and I can be there for my Dad when he's having as he says "a noisy head"...

I dunno but I love being together so it sounds fun.

But....I will be the 1st NDR Special Needs dog with service qualifications!!

Thank you to all who helped me get to my furever home....❤️
