About Rue

Rue is a delightful 2-year-old male mixed breed dog who weighs around 55 lbs when fully grown. Known for his friendly demeanor, he enjoys being around other dogs and is great with kids. He’s already learned to sit and does pretty well on a leash despite his limited experience. Rue is crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night, with no accidents so far. Having transitioned smoothly from a rough spot in rural VA, he is the definition of a gentle companion. Rue thrives on cuddling, following his foster around, and enjoys his walks. While he’s perfectly content just being near you, he's also playful with his toys and loves belly rubs. His one humorous quirk? He has no sense of personal space—whether you’re cooking or having a moment alone, he’s there to keep you company. This sweet dog is patiently waiting for his forever home, ready to bring love and laughter to a lucky family.
