About Ruelle
Ruelle, who we affectionately call “Rue” is our gorgeous toy-sized red tri female. She’s dual registered AKC Miniature American Shepherd & ASDR Toy Australian Shepherd standing 12.5 inches tall with one striking blue eye and one warm amber eye that never fail to turn heads. A perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back charm, Rue thrives on both outdoor adventures and quiet moments at home with our family. Her natural herding drive adds excitement to activities like chasing soccer balls or catching frisbees, but she’s never felt the need to herd people or our children. She does occasionally choose to try to herd our cats to their dismay but she’s never mean & just wants them to play with her. Rue focuses her energy on fun and connection, making her a joy to have around. Her velcro-like devotion to us is one of her most endearing traits—she loves being by our side, melting into our laps or arms whenever the opportunity arises. Rue doesn’t need constant activity to be content. While she adores playing and running outdoors, especially catching frisbees, she’s equally happy snuggling up inside, especially when the weather isn’t to her liking. Whether it’s too hot, too cold, or too wet, Rue’s favorite place is right next to us. With her affectionate personality and adaptable nature, Rue is a cherished member of our family and a constant source of love and companionship.
