Story
Ruffles may not have had the greatest start to her young life, but she is doing her best to make up for lost time! Ruffles has the biggest goofy smile, and is never happier than when she is with her people. She is endlessly loyal, a constant shadow, and is a professional cuddler! She wants nothing more than to sleep through the night pressed against your side and spend her days curled up on the couch in your lap. Ruffles is happy to let you know how grateful she is for love and attention by gently picking up shoes, toys, and anything else she can find and bring them to you as an offering. Her favorite things are stuffed animals and toys she can easily carry, but chew bones are a close second. Ruffles is definitely shy around new people, but as soon as she learns you are someone she can trust, you will be greeted with the biggest full body wiggles and belly flops she can physically muster! Ruffles is constantly curious and wants to experience new things, but can be hesitant to start. She learns best by sitting and observing before trying and joining, but she is incredibly intelligent and is eager to please. She is learning basic commands, settles perfectly in her crate, and is doing great with potty training! Because of her shyer nature, she would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can learn to feel secure and be safe. Ruffles has shown some resource guarding behaviors, guarding her chosen person from other people, so a dog savvy forever family without young children is a must. However, she has not had any issues with other animals or around food, toys, or treats, so those things make her very compatible with other pets. Ruffles has gotten along wonderfully with both the dogs and cats in her foster home, and would enjoy their company in her forever! Ruffles is a precious, sweet, girl who is learning what it means to be a happy puppy and wants to enjoy all life has to offer. She has already grown and opened up tremendously in the short time she has been with Dolly’s Legacy, and with the loving forever family she is so ready for, she will only continue to blossom!
Ruffles requires a home with a fenced yard, no apartment. No big dogs and no children, as they scare her.
Ruffles is a Brittany Spaniel mix who was was born approximately 9-9-23 and weighs 26 lbs but may still have some growing to do.
