Meet Ruthie, a charming Shepherd mix believed to be around four years old. Though her past is a mystery, it's clear she has experience being a loving companion. Weighing in at approximately 75 lbs, she has a sweet, gentle demeanor that has earned her a place as a staff favorite at the shelter. Ruthie shows friendly behavior towards other dogs and would thrive in a home with children. Despite her larger size, she carries herself with a playful spirit, balanced by a calm nature. This affectionate girl has a bit of a carefree attitude, possibly thanks to her mix of breeds. Currently, she’s in Alabama, but we’re working hard to bring her to Maine by mid-September. Ruthie deserves a loving forever home where she can share her big heart with a family who adores her. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
