My name is Ruthie!

History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Ruthie!

I have a gentle heart and a thoughtful way of doing things. I like to take my time, figure things out, and then do them well. Once I feel safe, I’m happiest just being near my people.

I love affection. Pets are my favorite, brushing is even better, and I’m very good at standing still while you admire how cute and fluffy I am. I love toys but I don’t need constant entertainment. I’m perfectly content hanging out nearby, keeping you company, taking naps, and soaking up the calm.

I’m proud to say I recently conquered my fear of the stairs (turns out they weren’t so scary after all). With patience and encouragement, I really shine - that’s kind of my thing. I thrive with kind guidance, steady routines, and people who understand that confidence grows with time.

I walk nicely on leash, I do well sleeping in my crate, but if given the choice, I prefer curling up on the floor in the bedroom close to my people. I’m proud to say that with regular trips outside, I’ve been accident-free in my foster home! I’m also gentle and well-mannered when meeting new people and I take the world in with quiet curiosity. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who values closeness, gentle affection, and a peaceful home, I might be just the dog you’ve been waiting for.

Love,

Ruthie
