Ruth, American Staffordshire Terrier For Adoption In Sedalia, Colorado

Location:

Sedalia, CO

Description:

Ruth is an amazing, easy, playful, gentle and loving dog. She is not a barker, unless a stranger walks directly along the fence line of her home. Even then, it is not a loud bark. She gets along great with other dogs. She eats with those other dogs, and will even share a food bowl with them. No food aggression at all. She can free roam, and is not destructive. She has been great with people and kids. She loves squeaker toys. She loves to play and snuggle. Ruth had one biological puppy and adopted an abandoned litter and accepted them, nursed them and raised them as if they were her own. Once you meet Ruth you will fall instantly in love. Ruth was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/ Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed. A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2057807##Adoption processThank you for your interest in adopting with us.
