History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Ruthie!
I have a gentle heart and a thoughtful way of doing things. I like to take my time, figure things out, and then do them well. Once I feel safe, I’m happiest just being near my people.
I love affection. Pets are my favorite, brushing is even better, and I’m very good at standing still while you admire how cute and fluffy I am. I love toys but I don’t need constant entertainment. I’m perfectly content hanging out nearby, keeping you company, taking naps, and soaking up the calm.
I’m proud to say I recently conquered my fear of the stairs (turns out they weren’t so scary after all). With patience and encouragement, I really shine - that’s kind of my thing. I thrive with kind guidance, steady routines, and people who understand that confidence grows with time.
I walk nicely on leash, I do well sleeping in my crate, but if given the choice, I prefer curling up on the floor in the bedroom close to my people. I’m proud to say that with regular trips outside, I’ve been accident-free in my foster home! I’m also gentle and well-mannered when meeting new people and I take the world in with quiet curiosity. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who values closeness, gentle affection, and a peaceful home, I might be just the dog you’ve been waiting for.
Love,
Ruthie
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
