Meet Ruthie

Spring is in the air, which means it is puppy season! Ruthie is a beautiful, sweet 14-week-old Lab/Border Collie mix. Ruthie came to Brookline through a collaboration with another PA Rescue. Ruthie, along with her littermates, were pulled from a PA breeder due to poor living conditions. That hasn’t slowed this girl down one bit! She is ready to meet her furever family where she can live her best life!

Ruthie is living in a foster home with three resident siblings, all male black labs. She loves being the only girl and getting all the attention. Girl Power is her motto! From the get-go she has gotten along fabulously with her brothers. While Ruthie is a calm, collected young lady, there is nothing she loves better than a good wrestling match. And sometimes she even wins! She is learning a lot from her older brothers, probably nothing more important than learning how to go potty outside. While not yet perfect, Ruthie has very few accidents indoors if taken outside every couple of hours. She will signal by standing at the door letting you know “it’s time”.

When Ruthie isn’t busy wrestling, she can often be found helping with yard work by eating the tops off the dandelions, running around with a stick in her mouth, or helping to lay mulch. She loves being outside (she is a Lab!), so the ideal home for Ruthie would be one where she can be outside getting lots of exercise.
Once she is done outside, she loves to come in and cuddle on the couch with her dad, or sit in the chair with her mom and help cook dinner, or lay in the big dog bed with her brother, Parker. She is excellent at quietly playing by herself. Throughout the day Ruthie will walk into her crate for a time out or better yet, a nap. Ruthie usually goes out at least once a night, and if given a snack (she’s a growing girl!), she will curl up and go back to sleep until it is time to start a new day! She’ll greet you in the morning with a wiggly butt, a jump for joy, and ready for breakfast.

Ruthie will do best with a family who appreciates her enthusiasm for life and is willing to spend the necessary time to continue her training. You will be rewarded with unlimited love from this sweet baby girl.
