Ruth

My story

WARNING: tiny, energetic, and utterly adorable Chihuahua mix alert!!! Hi! I'm Ruth, a tiny but mighty 6lb bundle of joy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I'm a parkour enthusiast in disguise, (don't worry, I've got the landing skills to match my jumping abilities...mostly). I have lightning-fast reflexes and a passion for jumping, running, and generally being a tiny ball of fun! When I'm not busy perfecting my ninja moves, I'm looking for my forever home, one that's ready for adventure, willing to keep me stimulated with puzzle toys and lots of playtime, and patient enough to help me learn and grow.  I'm a smart cookie (or should I say treat?) who thrives on mental and physical stimulation. I'd love a home with a savvy owner who can keep up with my antics, provide plenty of exercise and training and shower me with love and attention. I'm good with dogs, cats (as long as they're cool with my sass), people, and bigger kids (12+ as I don't want to accidently knock over any tiny humans with my enthusiastic play). My fur is a unique tiger shark inspired masterpiece. Don't worry, I won't bite....RAWWRRR!   As for communication, I'm a selective talker. I only bark when it's absolutely necessary, like when my food bowl is empty, my belly needs rubbing, or I'm trying to initiate a game of chase. My barks are baically like tiny text messages: "Feed me NOW," "Pet me, human," or "Let's play, hooman!"  I am medically up-to-date and ready to bring joy and snuggles to her forever home. If you're ready to decode my barks and provide endless play and snacks, I'm your gal!  Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2453156##
