About Rue

It pains us to put Rue up for adoption, but think a new home will be best for her. Rue is crazy smart, very sweet, and loves fetch and activity. She was very timid when we adopted her in the shelter, but she very quickly latched onto my wife, who is now her person and safe space. However she was and still is very nervous and afraid of me indoors, something we've been trying to navigate with advice from several trainers and behaviorists. The problem only has seem to gotten worse, and we hate seeing her live in a state of anxiety. We have found that a lot of big men intimidate her, but she warms up to women very quickly. We think the most ideal home for her is a single woman who loves a lot of exercise and affection, bonus if they have another dog, as Rue gets along and loves other dogs. We are not sure if its a protective trait, but she seems to be more afraid of myself then other men, but overall she is weary of new men, mainly indoors. Please reach out with any more questions or info. I would love to keep this dog as she is the ultimate outdoor/fetch dog and wicked smart, but I hate seeing her live in such an overwhelming state!
