Description:

Rue is searching for her forever home!

Meet Rue!

Poor Rue... Her owner didn't want her anymore because she is getting old. Can you believe that? He surrendered both Rue and her younger friend Buck.

Rue and Buck came into the pound together. We think they might have been used as a breeding pair. Both dogs are very sweet and want nothing more than to have somewhere to lay their heads and someone to love.

Rue is a big girl, and could stand to lose a few pounds. Rue is in a loving foster home now, and is on a special diet and is getting a lot of exercise.

Rue is a very sweet girl. She will sit as soon as she see's a treat! She knows sit, down and knows how to heel! She's smart and is a quick study. She also loves belly rubs!

Rue currently has a small sore on her cheek, but it is healing nicely. In the photo below with two dogs, Rue is the one on the left. Although Rue was living with another dog previously, she is an only dog in her foster home, and seems to prefer it. She has not been very excited to meet new dogs recently.

UPDATE FROM RUE'S FOSTER: Rue is currently in foster care, and is doing great! She gets along well with some other dogs, cats and kids and is housebroken. She is perfect and beautiful!

One of the cats in Rue's foster home has decided they like Rue's bed. Rue really wants to lay down, but just looks at the cat and wags her tail! It is really cute.

Rue went to the dog park this past weekend. She is so good off leash. She comes to you right away when you call her. She is very focused on fetching the ball and got a little irritated at an annoying terrier that wouldn’t leave her alone. Both Buck and Rue have obviously had some intense obedience training. After we get back from our walks, Rue sits at the door and waits until I tell her it’s ok to go inside.
