About Ruthie

Ruthie is a sweet, affectionate mixed breed dog with a hint of Husky in her. At around 2 years and 8 months old, she hardly barks and is often described as the best foster ever by her caretakers down south. Cuddly and playful, she enjoys her walks and exploring the outdoors, frequently getting the zoomies when she's excited. While Ruthie is dog friendly and settles down quickly, she can be a bit anxious when left alone. A home with another dog might provide her the reassurance she needs to feel secure. She’s fully house trained and is learning leash manners, though she still needs a bit of training in that area, as well as in car travel which makes her nervous. It’s worth noting that she has a strong prey drive, so a home without small animals would be ideal. Ruthie will be arriving in New England on June 26th and is eager to find her forever home.
