Listen to Hilley and Hart each Friday at 7:30 AM for 94.3 KAT Country’s Furry Friends.
Each week, Hilley & Hart introduce you to a dog or cat (or maybe something else!) from the Jefferson City Animal Shelter that would LOVE to be a part of your family!
Ruger is this week’s Furry Friend on KAT Country. He’s a 2 to 3-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound, a neutered male, and right now he weighs about 47 pounds. Ruger was brought in as a stray, so some things are still unknown, such as how he does with kids and dogs or cats. But shelter staff can already tell he’s a classic hound dog — full of energy, smart, friendly, and ready for a home where he has space to be himself. He’d love a fenced yard and room to roam, and he’s probably not the best choice for apartment living since he does have that classic hound bark.

Visit the Jefferson City Animal Shelter today and make yourself a new Furry Friend! They’re open Monday-Friday from 12 Noon to 5:30 PM and are located at 2308 Hyde Park Road. Their phone number is 573-634-6429. Be sure to visit their website to see all the animals available for adoption!
