About Ruth
Ruth is a beautiful black and tan Kelpie with a gentle soul who’s looking for a loving home to call her own. She’s a sensitive girl who thrives on calm energy, kindness, and clear guidance.
She is a girl who enjoys pottering about. She can be shy with new people at first, but with slow, positive introductions — especially if a friendly dog is there to reassure her — she soon warms up. During her time in foster care, Ruth has blossomed, showing her affectionate and gentle nature. She gets along wonderfully with her foster siblings and enjoys playing running games.
Ruth has been tested with cats, horses, cattle and sheep shows no interest in herding them — if anything the sheep are more likely to herd her. She is crate-trained and sleeps soundly through the night in his crate.
Ruth's lead manners are amazing, recall is improving and she is still working hard on some of the basics. She happily hops onto the buggy and into his kennel each evening. Ruth is also very happy to spend time with little humans going for walks with them and laying with her head on their lap.
Ruth is seeking a patient home where she’ll receive plenty of love, reassurance, and steady guidance. She would prefer to have another friendly dog companion to help her feel secure and confident. Though if her humans would be around most of the time, she would be equally happy with that.
***Ruth is located in VIC...

Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at https://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-process-forms/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. We offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
