July 6, 2026 by Marcy Dunning

Ruthie is our KMUN, THE ASTORIAN, 94.9 THE BRIDGE, and CLASSIC HITS 94.3 KRKZ Pet of the Week for the week of July 6, 2026

❤️ Ruthie is your big‑hearted best friend ❤️ She is a 2½‑year‑old, 75‑lb Saint Bernard mix with a gift for giving the world’s biggest, most heartfelt hugs. Fostered by Astoria Dispatch, she’s finally learning what love feels like and she’s blooming because of it. This sweet girl adores people. Truly. There isn’t a person she doesn’t greet with warmth, curiosity, and that signature Ruthie smile. She knows sit, shake, and lie down, and she’s wonderfully gentle with kids; she lights up the moment they walk in.

Ruthie will likely shine brightest as someone’s one‑and‑only, but depending on the other pet, she might be able to share the spotlight. A meet‑and‑greet is the perfect way to see how the chemistry feels. Full of personality, affection, and goofy charm, Ruthie is one of those dogs who makes you feel like life just got better.

Pet meet and greets are by appointment, so if you’d like to meet, call the shelter at 503-861-7387 or stop by the lobby to set up a time. The shelter is open 9:30 to 4:00 Tuesday through Saturday, closed 12:30 to 1:30 for lunch. You can also fill out an application here: https://www.clatsopcounty.gov/…/Adoption-Application-2024. Be sure to date it next to the signature line (applications are reviewed in the order they are received) and put the name of the animal you are interested in at the top. You can then save the application to your computer and email it to adopt@ClatsopCounty.gov or print it and deliver it directly to the shelter.
