About Ruthie
Ruthie is a remarkable dog currently at Heartland Animal Shelter in Wheeling, IL. With a background that would make most dogs wary of people, she has chosen to embrace joy and connection instead. Rescued from a situation of neglect and cruelty, Ruthie showed incredible resilience, caring for her newborn puppies despite the traumatic circumstances. Today, Ruthie is a friendly, outgoing companion who loves all people, especially children. She greets newcomers with an enthusiasm that brightens any room. Her playful demeanor and nurturing instincts make her a natural leader in our dog playgroups. Ruthie has a fun side too; she enjoys splashing in the baby pool and is just as thrilled to receive affection from her humans as she is to be with her canine friends. Already spayed and up to date on vaccines, Ruthie is undergoing heartworm treatment, which is both preventable and curable. Heartland will cover her treatment costs, and she's expected to recover fully, ready for a loving forever home. Now, all Ruthie needs is the family that will love her as she has always deserved.
