Meet Rugby

Rugby is a sweet and social Pitbull/Mix searching for his forever family! He is estimated to be around 6yr old, and weighs 55lbs. This cutie has a big expressive face that tells you exactly what's on his mind! He is loving and lowkey, and would be a great fit for a retired couple, or a family with a laid back/older household. This friendly boy loves other dogs and meeting new people! Rugby is healthy and has been fully vetted, however Rugby's forever family will need to be mindful of a daily medication he needs to take for a heart/lung condition that he has. He is unable to go for long walks, but does still enjoy a slower paced stroll. He gets excited when food/treats are around but is easily directed and listens well. Rugby is afraid of thunderstorms, and prefers to be around his people versus in a crate (can you blame him!). Sitting on the porch, getting butt scratches, and eating ice chips would be Rugby's ideal day! Rugby is fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He is not neutered due to his heart/lung condition. If you're interested in adopting this handsome boy, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2-3 hours of the Greater Atlanta area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.
