Notes from Operation Pets Alive

Ruthie is a 1.5-year-old sweetheart with a petite build, weighing in at just 37 pounds. This lovely girl has a high energy level, making her the perfect companion for someone looking for a dog who enjoys both playtime and an active lifestyle.

Ruthie has received some basic training and is eager to continue learning with a patient, loving family. Ruthie likes to be the Queen Bee, so she does well with other submissive dogs but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only canine companion. Ruthie is looking for a home where she can feel safe, supported, and loved as she continues to blossom into the amazing dog she's meant to be.

If you're willing to invest a little time and patience, Ruthie will reward you with loyalty, companionship, and the joy of watching her confidence grow every day. Could you be the person she's been waiting for?

  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Operation Pets Alive, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
