Oh, listen up, good people! Meet Ruthie, the dazzling 1-year-old Great Pyrenees who has a tale of triumph that will touch your heart and bring a smile to your face. 🌟 This petite princess has faced more challenges than anyone should ever go through, but her spirit shines brighter than any star in the sky! 🌌 Ruthie's backstory is as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring. Before she found her way into the loving arms of rescue, this beauty suffered the cruel fate of neglect. Tied up with metal wire as punishment for chasing chickens, she endured painful injuries that were left untreated for far too long. By the time help arrived, her leg was beyond saving and had to be amputated. 🦵💔 But let me tell you something: despite her hardships, Ruthie is a sweetheart like no other! Shy at first, but overflowing with love, Ruthie simply adores gentle pets and warm cuddles! 💖 She gets along fabulously with other dogs and revels in the presence of both humans and canines. This mellow girl is just discovering the magic of toys! She's particularly enchanted by soft squeaky toys and crinkly textures, all while savoring the texture of yummy antlers. When night falls, she transforms into a peaceful dreamer, snuggled up in her crate. 🌙🐾 Now, let’s talk about the lovely quirks that make Ruthie uniquely her! While she's making amazing strides in her journey to recovery, she does have some neurological quirks from her past. Ambulating indoors can be a bit tricky for her at times, as if her brain and her legs are still trying to find that connection! So, she’s going to need a patient adopter who can help her navigate her cozy safe spots at home. But that’s not all, folks! Ruthie is also working on overcoming her fears of loud noises. You should have seen the progress – she now walks confidently during vacuuming and no longer dashes away from passing cars! 🚗 It really is a testament to her bravery! When it’s time for potty breaks, she feels safest if someone is right there with her, be it a human friend or another furry buddy. Ideally, a peaceful rural home would be the cherry on top as those bustling suburbs just might feel like too much for our delicate flower. 🌼 And because Ruthie can dart away when startled, she absolutely must go to a home with a secure, physical fence—no exceptions, folks! And as if her journey needed any more twists, Ruthie was diagnosed with Ehrlichia, a tick-borne disease, upon her arrival. But fear not! She’s received treatment and is expected to have no long-term health issues. 🌈 Ruthie’s heart is full of love waiting to bloom, and she truly deserves a warm, patient forever home. 🏡 Ready to be that shining light in her life?
