Rugby - Rottweiler and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Port St. Joe, Florida

Rugby came to the shelter as a stray, underweight with overgrown nails and covered in fleas — but this young pup hasn’t let his rough start dim his sweet spirit. He’s a very young boy with all the classic puppy energy and antics, and he’s big on cuddles, attention, and being close to his people.

Rugby is working on his leash manners and absolutely loves his tasty treats, making him a great candidate for continued training as he grows. He hasn’t been with us long, but his affectionate nature and playful personality shine through right away.

This precious pup is UTD on vaccinations and microchipped, and he will be neutered when he’s old enough.

Rugby is ready for a loving home that can guide him, spoil him, and enjoy every bit of his goofy puppy charm.
