About Rutabaga

Rutabaga is a young and timid pup who has been learning to navigate the world with a bit more confidence since joining us. Initially frightened and prone to hiding, she’s really blossomed around other dogs. With the presence of her sister Aubergine or other social dogs, she’s transitioning from freezing on the leash to happily strolling alongside them. Training has been going well; Rutabaga accepts treats and is mastering basic commands. She’s also getting the hang of crate training, settling in for her meals without issue. A social dog companion can help guide her as she grows more comfortable. Given her timid nature, she might need a family that understands slow introductions. Ruti interacts positively with calm, older children but may retreat from louder, more energetic ones. For the best match, interested adopters should keep in mind that Ruti needs continued positive reinforcement training and patience as she grows more confident. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
