Ruthie B aka Ginny is really sweet and gentle. She enjoys meeting, living with and walking with dogs, big and small, and all people. She is reserved with new people but friendly. She loves to walk! She is most animated when she sees her leash and knows she is going for a walk. She can easily walk for 30-60 minutes a few times a day. She may need help getting into a car, so someone capable of lifting her or guiding her up a ramp would be good. She gets out of a car easily and rides well.

Ruthie enjoys a warm, soft bed inside, but also really likes being outside on a deck taking in the sounds, smells and sights of a yard. It can actually be challenging getting her to come indoors, but once inside, she settles down nicely.

She is very reliably house trained and actually prefers to do her "business" out on walks. She is very reluctant to potty in the yard even if she really needs to go. She'll whine for a walk instead. Other than her whining to go for a walk, she is very quiet and rarely makes a sound.

Ginny came to us from Monterey County Animal Services after being picked up as a stray. After several months with POMDR, she still seems a little depressed and like she is looking for someone she lost. She will need a patient adopter who accepts her for who she is and can deal with some of her minor quirks.
