About Ruthie

Ruthie is a charming little Chihuahua mix who was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. She’ll be ready for meet-and-greets starting on November 14, but you’ll need to schedule an appointment through an approved application. Ruthie is friendly and gets along well with both dogs and children, making her a great addition to a caring home. Currently, there’s no additional backstory available, but further updates will be provided as they come in. As a reminder, adoption fees cover her vaccinations up to the date of adoption, microchip, spay, and 30 days of free pet insurance. A deposit can secure your intent to adopt; however, that fee is non-refundable once Ruthie is taken home. Visit our events page to find out about upcoming open adoption events! Ruthie is fostered in Colorado, and due to potential transport delays, pickup dates may change. Don’t miss the chance to meet this sweet girl!
