About Ruthie

Ruthie is a Rottweiler born around October 2020 and brings a mellow and gentle presence to any home. She loves the company of other dogs, both big and small, and enjoys playful moments with her friend Spur. Ruthie is reliably house trained, rarely barks, and settles in calmly when her foster mom works from home. She prefers staying close—inside and outside—and finds comfort in her crate, often lounging in it with the door open. This girl thrives on routine and loyalty and will need some patience as she gets to know and trust new people. Ruthie opens up with affection, belly rubs, and attention once she feels safe, and she handles grooming well, letting her person trim her nails and rub her ears. She’s described as the perfect family companion, but Ruthie does best when given time to decompress—sometimes that can mean weeks or months before her full personality blooms. If you’re looking for the classic loyal, playful Rottie spirit, Ruthie will be the friend you’ve been searching for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
