Ruxin - Shepherd and Collie Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

Hi there! I'm Ruxin, the perfect gentleman. My foster mom has brought me to lots of places with her, and we've met so many people --
everyone from toddlers to grandparents and other dogs big and small --and I'm polite around everyone!

I'm housebroken, know some basic commands, and have a nice moderate energy level with a love for walks. I'm great in the car and very calm around other dogs, even when they're loud or reactive. I can be a little cautious when meeting new people at first, but I warm up
quickly once I feel comfortable. I love being around my people, but I'm also happy to relax on my own. Plus, I'm very well behaved in the
house when left alone.

My favorite things include hanging out with my people, lounging in my dog bed, walks, and lazing on the back deck in the sunshine -- all
with a side of Havarti cheese. Sometimes I get excited and try to sneak out the front door behind my foster mom & dad, so you should be careful and make sure I stay inside unless I'm on a leash!

Can't wait to meet you!

xo,
Ruxin

P.S. My foster mom would happily keep me forever, but my foster dad says then they wouldn't be able to foster anyone else.

P.P.S. I qualify for Welcome Trial, which means you can take me home for up to 14 days to see if we're the perfect match before making
things official. With the right home, patience, and love, I'll be a loyal, clever companion who's ready to be by your side and enjoy some
cuddles. ...
