Very Sweet and mellow gal. Just a doll. Was given up with two other dogs because her owner needed to be hospitalized. Ruffi is a calm, lay-at-your-feet kind of dog. She is incredibly docile and loving. She rides well in the car and walks well on a leash. She is fine around other dogs, and would most likey be safe around cats. She'd also be a loving addition to a family with children. She still has a lot of life left in her, so don't let her age deter your considertion.
