Ruthie

Description

Animal Information: Meet Ruthie, a 4-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua with a resilient spirit. Ruthie ended up at the Stanislaus shelter after being attacked by a much larger dog, leaving her with puncture wounds and a very sore body. Thankfully, she received the care she needed, recovered well, and was ready for her second chance. Despite everything she's been through, Ruthie has remained incredibly sweet. Shelter staff described her as gentle, easy to handle, and an absolute sweetheart, making it clear she deserved a fresh start. Foster Profile: Meet Ruthie!    If you're looking for a tiny best friend who believes the best days are spent snuggled up beside you, Ruthie is your girl! This sweet 8-pound Chihuahua is easygoing, affectionate, and happiest when she's relaxing with her favorite person.   Ruthie has a bit of a princess personality—she knows she's special and isn't afraid to show it! She would be perfectly happy as your one and only pet, but she could also live with a calm, small dog who respects her laid-back lifestyle. She also gets along well with cats.   Whether it's curling up on the couch, soaking up the sunshine, or following you around the house, Ruthie is simply looking for a peaceful home filled with love.
