Ruth's Story

This 4-month-old Wirehaired Terrier mix is looking for a fresh start after being returned to us when her adopter sadly passed away. Through it all, Ruth has stayed the same sweet, happy puppy. She’s playful, smart, and absolutely loves to have fun. Ruth has lived with other dogs and her littermates, so she’d likely enjoy a furry friend in her new home. She’s friendly, eager to learn, and ready to bring joy wherever she goes. Ruth has already experienced loss—now she just needs someone to show her what forever really means.
