What dog adores chewing on tennis balls? Well, that would be the magnificent Rue! She is the best. Everyone here just loves this gal. Rue is a strong, stoic miss with oodles of energy. She is young and fun and ready for action. No couch potatoes for this mover. Rue would thrive with an active lifestyle. She would make a great wing gal. Now, Rue does love to be loved. She has this adorable way to nudge your hand when she wants some loving. And be aware- there is no saying no to this charmer! Ready for a good sized funster to join your family? Rue is waiting for you!
