Rue is a resilient little survivor from Mississippi with the sweetest soul. Though we may never know everything she has been through, what shines through most is her gentle heart and loving nature. Rue is ready to trade hardship for soft beds, warm cuddles, and a forever family who will never let her down again. She deserves a lifetime of love and happiness after such a difficult beginning.

🧠 Temperament
Though we may never know everything she has been through, what shines through most is her gentle heart and loving nature. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
