MEET RUE & FRIENDS!

RUE

Hiya, I’m Rue! I’m a chihuahua-mix puppy that makes a long, winding journey from a home that didn’t love me very much to a loving Furever home in New York City. I learn a lot along the way, and make a bunch of cool new friends, too. My favorite things are listening to stories, snuggling on the couch, taking naps in the sun, and going everywhere with my Furever mom all time. I have my own special bag that I can hop-n-go, it’s pawesome!

MISS GLADYS

Why, hello there! I’m Miss Gladys Nice, Rue’s fabulously kooky Fairy Dogmother. My job is to come to pups on their first birthdays and grant them one wish to help on their journey of life… which I then get to guide them on! Well, Rue kinda messes things up for me by wishing to skip to her Happy Ending, so I can’t help her along the way – but it doesn’t matter, I find ways to make sure she’s on the right track. There’s nothing I love more than making sure my Fairy Dogchildren find their Furever Families, and I’m so proud of Rue for leading her own journey!

SQUISH

Name’s Squish, by the by! My philosophy in life is “I Just Need Me” – meaning, you don’t need anyone to feel worthy or nothing in this life! I save Rue from a bunch of Mean Kids, and though I told Rue I don’t do packs no more, she sticks around anyway and convinces me to open my heart to Happily Furever After. I could say Rue is my new best friend, but I don’t like that sappy-like emotional stuff, ya dig?

ARTEMIS

Howwwwwwdy! I’m Artemis, and this here’s my brother Apollo. We were given up to a shelter when our folks got too old to care for us no more. It was a sad day for sure, but I keep hope that there’s another furever family out there for us. I bet there’s even a home with tap-dancing kids for us. See, us and our old pa watched a lot of TV; all the classics—On the Pound, Yankee Poodle Dandy—and tap dancing is one of our favorite pastimes!

APOLLO

Harrumph! I don’t always listen to my brother since he sees the dog bowl as half full and I know that life ain’t always so kind. The pound can be a scary place for old dogs like us, humans don’t always want to take us home… but oh to be in a home with kids – I love ‘em so much! I also love New York City. What I’d give to take a bite outta the Big Chew Toy (that's NYC)!

MISHKA

Meow! I am Mishka, a beautiful cat of noble Russian lineage. Maybe. Maybe not. It does not matter, I am beautiful even still! I was Rue’s furry step-brother in our first home where I thought they at least loved me… but it turns out that they did not. My motto is “don’t be a fraidy cat” – though the unknown can be scary, the scary things are in your imagination. Mostly. I think. I go on my own emotional journey while Rue goes on hers—see, I start out not so sure about other animals, and then realize that I love helping them find their furever homes. Lucky for me, Miss Gladys is ready for an apprentice!

PUMPKIN

Arrroo! Pumpkin’s my name, lickin’s my game… humans just taste so good! Humans can be scared of me because of my size and brrreed, but I’m a lovebug that’s sweet as pumpkin pie, I swears! To tell the trrrrruth, I’m probably more scared of you than you are of me… scared that you won’t love me…!

MOO KITTY

COMING SOON!
