ruthie

Ruthie is what we like to call a low-effort queen, She is the perfect blend of “let’s go explore” and “don’t wake me, I’m comfy.” She loves long walks and outdoor adventures, then happily crashes on the couch afterward. Preferably after belly rubs, snuggles, and a few kisses for her favorite humans. Ruthie enjoys being close to her people, whether she’s snoozing at your feet, curled up beside you, or posted up in one of her many favorite nap spots—her foster has the photo evidence to prove it.Ruthie is sweet, friendly, and gentle with people of all ages, including kids. She’s perfectly content to hang out while life happens around her, making her an easy, go-with-the-flow companion. She’s looking for a home without other animals, where she can soak up all the love and be the star she deserves to be.The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets! Some pets qualify for FREE or reduced adoption fees, please inquire with our Animal Care team to learn more. Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal. This will include reviewing all known medical and behavior information. ** Please note that some animals will receive numerous inquiries, sometimes more than we can process.
