Ruffles is a sweet and devoted momma who truly stole hearts upon her arrival. Her name comes from an endearing moment where a staff member used a bag of chips to lure her to safety, and she trusted them enough to come right along. Since then, Ruffles has consistently shown nothing but love. She is gentle, affectionate, and endlessly grateful, always leaning into every bit of kindness she receives.
As a German Shepherd Dog, Ruffles is intelligent, loyal, and protective. These traits make her a wonderful companion for an active individual or family. She will thrive with consistent training and mental stimulation, and her natural inclination to bond closely with her family means she will be a devoted member of your household. She is also known for her moderate grooming needs, requiring weekly brushing, and experiences seasonal shedding.
This deserving mama has fulfilled her role raising her puppies and is now more than ready for a loving home where she can finally be the one cared for, spoiled, and cherished. Ruffles would do best in a home that can provide her with plenty of exercise, such as daily walks, playtime, or even a running partner, to meet her high energy and exercise needs. A securely fenced yard would be a bonus for her to explore safely.
