Meet Ruin - the comeback kid with a heart of gold!
Ruin came to the shelter with his four littermates in very poor condition - thin, sick, and scared, with a long road ahead. But this little guy never gave up. With steady care and plenty of TLC, Ruin has made an incredible turnaround and is now a bright, healthy, and happy young pup.

Ruin has fully embraced his second chance. He's goofy, playful, and discovering the world with that classic puppy enthusiasm. He loves toys, enjoys exploring, and is learning all the basics - from polite manners to the fun of zoomies. His confidence grows every day, and his gentle personality shines through in every tail wag.

This sweet boy is looking for a patient, loving home that will continue helping him build on everything he's learned so far. In return, Ruin will offer endless cuddles, joyful energy, and the truly special reward of seeing a once-struggling pup become the dog he was always meant to be.

If you're searching for a resilient, affectionate companion, Ruin is ready to join your family.
