About Me

Rutie was adopted May 2018!

Hi! I’m Rutile or Ruti (like Rudy) for short. Like the gemstone I’m named after, my foster family thinks I’m precious. They say I’m a sweet boy too. I love going on walks. There are so many new things to see! I’m a little scared of them at first, but I’m very friendly and quickly learning there’s nothing to be afraid of. I still like to stick close to my foster mom for now, though.

I lived outdoors with a bunch of my furry siblings for most of my life so I’m still trying to get the hang of this “tell me when you want to go out” thing, but I’ve discovered I love lying on the comfy couch. I really like kids from toddlers on up and I’m very patient with them, but I’m not fond of my crate. I’d rather be snuggling with my family.

Rutie recently appeared on TV!
