Hi there! My name's Ruffles, and I'm here to give you a glimpse into my world. I'm a delightful mix of energy and calmness, always ready for a good adventure but also perfectly content to relax by your side.
When it comes to meeting new people, I'll admit I can be a bit shy at first. It takes me a little while to warm up, but once I do, you'll find that I'm incredibly sweet and loving.
Now, let's talk about my furry friends. While I'm not the type to directly engage with other dogs, I'm quite well-behaved around them, especially when we're out for a leisurely stroll.
As for being petted, well, I'm okay with it, but I definitely prefer it to be on my own terms. A little scratch behind the ears or under the chin is always welcome!
My favorite things in the world include going for walks and hopping into the car for a ride. However, I can be a bit hesitant in new environments and around unfamiliar faces. But give me some time, and I'll warm up to you in no time.
What makes me truly special? Well, besides my adorable face, I'm incredibly sweet and gentle. Once you get to know me, you'll see just how much love I have to give.
As for my perfect family, they'd be someone who understands that patience is key with me. I need a gentle hand and a loving heart to help me overcome my shyness and nervousness. Someone who can bring me out of my shell and show me the wonderful world around us.
