"RUTABAGA" spayed female, Breed: Mixed Breed Medium
APPROX 5 - 6 mths 38 lbs Adoption fee $350
Gets along well with many other dogs (meet & greet is required)
She really wants to be a good girl, things are just a little scary sometimes.
Special Considerations
Children: Rutabaga is not a fan of fast, unpredictable small kids. She has successfully met calmer pre-teens and older.
Other Dogs: They definitely are a plus! (But not required if you commit to being her best friend)
Cats: It will highly depend on the cat! Rutabaga will chase cats that run, but respects those that stand their ground.
Rutabaga came as an undersocialized little puppy. She was very fearful, and would freeze or hide when people came around. She really came out of her shell with another social dog around.
In the time we’ve had Rutabaga, she had moved on from freezing on leash, to being able to walk with her sister (Aubergine) or another confident dog. She is happy to take treats and learn how to be a good girl. She also is working on crate training and happily kennels up for her meals.
Ruti really shines with other dogs around. She takes her social cues from her play partners and blossoms with another social dog around. It is likely that she would do really well in a home with a social dog to show her the ropes. If you’re looking to add a dog to make sure that your home isn’t without another four legged critter, she could be your next match.
As she is still young and learning how to be a good dog, we highly recommend continuing her positive reinforcement training to help build her into the dog we know she can be.
