Ruggles has become the official ambassador for the Cherokee County Animal Shelter, the shelter that saved him. He visits schools to educate young students about puppy mills and shelter dogs.
“For those wondering why they were not аdoрted together… that was the shelter’s original plan, but Chompers (true to her name!) got too һагѕһ with young Ruggles, and because to his health difficulties, it was concluded that it was in both of the animals’ best interest to be аdoрted individually. They are both happy and very much loved!”
