Ruger – Missing Dog in Rockport, WV
Case Active | Updated: Friday, October 10, 2025
Case Summary
Ruger, a 2-year-old intact male Lab mix, has been missing since Tuesday, October 7, 2025, around 1:45 PM from 12876 Lee Creek Rd, Rockport, West Virginia. He is a brown/red color with white markings and was wearing a brown collar from Tractor Supply when last seen. Ruger is microchipped.
He went missing while under the care of a trusted family friend. A possible sighting was reported near Tuckers Creek, not far from the original location. The surrounding area is rural, with thick woods, open fields, and creek lines, which can make detection difficult without cameras or coordinated search support.
Ruger is described as friendly but can be skittish, especially around unfamiliar people or sudden noises. As an intact male, he may be traveling longer distances following scent trails or looking for food sources.
