Ruthie's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.From Ruthie&#39;s Foster Parents<br/><br/>Ruthie is the life of the party with a larger than life personality and an ever bigger heart! She has absolutely loved everyone she has met here (from as young as age 2 up to age 80!) and ensures you know it by giving major tail wags and ENDLESS kisses from the moment she meets you. She has the best eye contact of any dog I&#39;ve met and she&#39;ll gladly join in on your conversation with the sweetest listening ears and non-stop shepherd head tilts! Be sure you don&#39;t smile or laugh at her when you see this adorableness though, or she&#39;ll be headed your way for more kisses!!!<br/><br/>If you find an extra special place in Ruthie&#39;s heart, she&#39;ll lay upside down along your lap, rest her head on your shoulder and sweetly ask for all the tummy rubs she can get. She is a BIG girl already, so I imagine her as a big ol&#39; lap dog as she continues to grow<br/><br/>Ruthie is a complete sweetheart, but she is also very independent, SMART and strong-willed. She loves playing with toys, especially the ones that can hide treats inside, and is a pro at figuring out the doggy puzzles we have offered her. She is definitely a more dominant girl who enjoys a challenge and lots of mental stimulation and for this reason, I think she would excel at agility, scent training, obedience, or the like! She is very eager to please and has been a dream to train so far. Ruthie knows basic commands like sit, stay and wait and is also doing great with potty training! When on a schedule, she has very few accidents in the house if any at all. She has been doing fantastic in her crate and will only occasionally whine if she&#39;s missing you. Ruthie has also loved leashed walks around our yard and would LOVE a home who will exercise her daily!<br/><br/>Ruthie has not been able to meet with other dogs or animals outside from her littermate just yet, but I think she would excel with lots of socialization and proper introductions, especially with more neutral or submissive dogs. At this time, cats and small animals are unknown!<br/><br/>The only thing Ruthie hasn&#39;t liked so far is the dishwasher and the vacuum, but because she loves her people so much, she&#39;s already working hard on being convinced otherwise! With her puppy energy in mind, we are also working on not jumping and the command &#34;off&#34; with which she is getting better every day!<br/><br/>In summary, Ruthie is loving, smart, spunky and SASSY in all the very best ways and the sky is definitely the limit for this girl! We know that when she finds her person or people, her heart will just soar!<br/><br/>We can&#39;t wait for her new family to love her as much as we do
