Meet Rucker – The Little Guy with a Big Heart!

Looking for a sidekick who’s equal parts playful explorer and loyal cuddle buddy? Say hello to Rucker – a 10-pound bundle of joy who’s ready to find his forever family!

Rucker is a Corgi/Heeler mix, which means he’s got the perfect combo of brains, bounce, and a touch of sass. With his unique white, gray, and tan coat and alert, curious eyes, he’s just as handsome as he is lovable. Born in late March 2025, this little guy is still a pup and is soaking up the world one tail wag at a time.

He’s a moderately active fella—he’ll enjoy playtime in the yard and neighborhood walks, but he’s just as happy curling up next to you for snuggles when it’s time to relax. Rucker is curious and playful, always up for a little adventure but he also has a sweet, snuggly side that’ll melt your heart.

While Rucker is still working on house training and learning the ropes when it comes to manners, he’s a smart cookie and just needs a little guidance and consistency.

He does great with other dogs and warms up quickly to new people, so we know he’ll bond deeply with his humans. A fenced yard is a must for this curious pup, as he loves to explore but needs a safe space to do so.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a pup who’ll grow with you, make you laugh, and always be by your side, Rucker might just be your perfect match.
