Meet Miss Ruthie
Meet Miss Ruthie—a sensitive, soulful pup with the sweetest eyes and a heart that just needs a little time to shine. At 47 lbs, she’s a beautiful mixed-breed girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.
Miss Ruthie can be shy in new situations and needs a calm, quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. She’s not one for crowds or surprises, but give her time and space, and you’ll see her curiosity begin to blossom.
A confident, friendly resident dog would be a huge help—Miss Ruthie feels much braver when she has a canine friend to show her the ropes.
She’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter who’s committed to letting her lead the way—no pressure, just kindness. With routine, consistency, and the freedom to choose when she wants to engage, Miss Ruthie will start to show you just how special she really is.
If you’ve got a gentle home and a heart for the underdogs, Miss Ruthie may be the perfect match. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Miss Ruthie. We have open adoption hours Mon- Wed 11:30am-5pm, Thu-Sun 11:30am-6pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
