About Ruthie Arriving D

Meet Ruthie, a calm and gentle soul ready to find her forever home. This adorable girl is a mixed breed of Chihuahua and Dachshund, with a beautiful coat of black and yellow tan. Though initially shy, Ruthie warms up with patience, often transforming into a loving cuddle companion once she feels safe. She's low-energy and thrives in quiet environments, which makes her an ideal choice for someone looking for a peaceful pet. Ruthie can get along with calm, respectful dogs, but she values her independence and may take her time making new friends. She's not yet sure how she feels about cats, so a gradual introduction is best if there are any in your household. While she has a knack for vocalizing when she hears barking or knocks at the door, she hasn’t had any accidents indoors and is crate trained. For the best match, Ruthie would thrive in a quieter home with adults or older kids, as younger children might be overwhelming for her. She's learning leash manners and basic obedience; your guidance will help her shine. If you’re ready to give a sweet girl the time she needs to gain confidence and trust, Ruthie might just be the perfect companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
