🌟 Meet Ruby! This delightful 3-year-old Lab/Cattle Dog mix is a true gem weighing in at 60 pounds of pure joy! She’s sweeter than a chocolate souffle and just as striking as a red carpet dress! As a puppy, Ruby faced a tough battle with a condition called strangles, which left her with charming little scars on her face—like badges of honor! These little markings only enhance her beautiful smile, which is just as radiant as any superstar! 💖 Trust us; it doesn’t cause her pain. She’s living her best life, filled with wagging tails and happy barks! Now, listen closely, because Ruby is house and kennel trained—YES! She even enjoys her kennel as a cozy sanctuary when her humans are away! Imagine this: a gentle soul who adores morning walks and is mastering her leash manners like a champ! Out in the world, she’s like a curious detective, sniffing out all the marvelous scents and waving to fellow furry friends. At home, Ruby is a playful dynamo! She loves toys—be it chew bones, Kongs stuffed with treats, or plush toys. You name it, she’s down for the fun! But wait—this diva also loves cuddling! Whether it’s curling up next to you on the couch or lounging nearby, her heart is all about being close to her special humans. Ruby is still on her journey to understand the world around her, and she’s gaining confidence every day. Like most of us, she can get a bit anxious in new situations. Sometimes, her excitement bubbles over, leading to some enthusiastic jumping—don’t worry, she’s learning how to channel that energy in better ways! When it comes to friends, Ruby has had success with one calm, playful dog buddy, and she’s likely to flourish in a home with a confident medium-to-large dog who enjoys agility—no pushy personalities, please! However, she’d rather skip the small pets and young children, as she needs a serene environment. A professional trainer raved about Ruby, describing her as “a happy-go-lucky, people-friendly dog with a big personality and a playful nature.” She’s a love sponge who bonds quickly with humans and settles beautifully in her kennel. With a thoughtful atmosphere and steadfast training, Ruby will flourish beautifully. 🏡 Ruby’s ideal home: - A calm, adult-only haven - An experienced adopter familiar with anxious or reactive dogs - A structured setting for Ruby to continue her training and boost her confidence - Possibly with one friendly dog or a calm, dog-savvy cat (with patient introductions) Affectionate, smart, and brimming with love, Ruby is waiting for that special someone who can offer the patience and understanding she craves. With just a sprinkle of consistency and care, Ruby will fill your life with loyalty, laughter, and endless love! 💖✨ So, if you think you have the perfect spot for this lovely lady, apply to adopt Ruby through the Buddy App! She’s all set to find her forever home, and she can’t wait to meet you! P.S. Ruby is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped, ready to start her new adventure with you! 💕
