About Rue

Meet Rue! This lively girl, often likened to a kangaroo in a sighthound suit, is a joyful companion at 24.5 lbs and 1.5 years old. She's a leggy bundle of playful energy, always ready to run or curl up next to her favorite human for some well-deserved snuggles. Rue thrives in the company of other dogs and has shown she can live harmoniously with cats. She's also good-natured with children, but her exuberant jumping means that gentle, dog-savvy kids are the best match for her. Rue is food-driven, smart, and keen to learn; she already knows how to “sit” and is currently working on “wait.” Crate-trained and quiet through the night, she is making excellent progress on her leash manners. Rue will need regular potty breaks, ongoing training, and a watchful eye when it comes to tempting snacks on counters. For her, an active home with a fenced yard and perhaps another playful pup would be ideal. In return, you'll receive a delightful mix of goofy antics and affectionate cuddles. Ready for a little bounce and lots of love? Rue is waiting for you!
