Ruthie is a 3 year old 49 pound low rider. She is the mom of the baseball litter (Astro, Ranger and Philly who are all still available). She came to us in pretty rough shape. After her spay and dental cleaning she will be treated for heartworm. Despite her rough start Ruthie is a happy, sweet cuddly dog who enjoys people and is dog friendly. To meet Ruthie in person visit us at www.dsda.org/adopt and submit our online adoption application.
