My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Where are the doggie heroes? Because this amazing girl needs one soon, please. Miss Ruthie is a gentle senior miss who somehow ended up lost and alone. When we found her, she was hungry, skinny, very thirsty, and sadly, defeated. Bless her little heart, but she found the will to survive and now she is being the best girl ever. She adores baby talk and being close by. She is a delightful companion! Miss Ruthie is seeking a mellow home along with lots of soft beds, and great meals. She would prefer a home with few stairs as she has a bit of arthritis, but she still LOVES her walkie time. If you have a soft spot for the oldies but goodies, darling Miss Ruthie is the dog of your dreams!

We're dedicated to finding loving homes for all the pets in our care. All you need is love-- and a state issued ID.

WE HAVE 2 ADOPTION CENTERS TO SERVE YOU:

Our doors are open from 12 PM to 7 PM every day, offering you ample time to visit and meet your potential new companion. Please arrive no later than 6:30 PM to ensure you have plenty of time to interact with our adorable pups.
