About Ruthie

Ladies & Gentleman meet #Ruthie. She's about 6 years old, a beagle mix and looking for a place to rest her head. She is definitely a hound, that's for sure! She has ears for days, has a required deep bark and loooves to sniff. Ruthie is very independent, but enjoys human companionship, her long daily walks and a nice yard to explore in her off-leash time. Ruthie has a couple foster sisters and a brother that she really doesn't seem to care about (We are unsure about cats). But in all honesty, she'd thrive best in a home as the only dog. Ruthie would thrive in an average to laidback home. Her biggest pet peeve is that she doesn't like her feet or ears touched. Ruthie is 100% potty trained, 100% crate trained and great on a leash. Ruthie loves watching tv and the snacks that go along with it. She's very good motivated. Adoption Requirements: - No kids under 16 - Would thrive best in an average to laidback, calm home. - Would thrive best as the only dog in home. Ruthie is currently up for adoption through Lending A Helping Paw Dog Rescue. Our adoption fee will include her distemper, rabies, bordetella, parvo, and lepto vaccines; deworming; microchip; heartworm test; & being fixed. Ruthie is heartworm negative & is currently on heartworm prevention, as well as flea & tick preventative.

Lending A Helping Paw Mission Statement: Our mission is to play an active role throughout our community by 'Lending A Helping Paw' to animals that were either abandoned, in shelters, unwanted, homeless, chained outdoors, or victims of prior abuse and/or neglect. Our rescue family has accomplished this by setting up each animal and their new families up for success, educating and consulting pet parents about what's in the best interest of their pets overall well-being, and creating an awareness in our community about the vital importance of fully vetting and spaying & neutering their pets. Where Can You See The Rest Of Our Pack?
