About Ruby

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Ruby is a resilient six-year-old American Pitbull Terrier and Cane Corso mix who, after overcoming hardships in a difficult environment, is blossoming in foster care. At first, she may be shy and take a little while to warm up to new people, but beneath her gentle exterior is an affectionate companion who thrives on close connection, especially once trust is established. Once Ruby bonds with you, she becomes your constant shadow, greeting you with a wagging nub and heart-melting sweetness. She enjoys peaceful surroundings and does well with other dogs—preferably a calm male companion. Ruby has already mastered several commands like sit, down, touch, and shake, is house trained, and continues to improve with leash walking. She is wonderfully patient during grooming and adores spending time at your side, soaking up all the affection. While she’s gentle and loving, she can be startled by loud noises and prefers to avoid excitement, seeking reassurance and calm when feeling unsure. Ruby is an ideal match for a patient adopter who appreciates a soft, quiet dog that thrives on gentle affection. Her adoption fee has been sponsored, making her even more ready for her perfect forever home. Fun fact: Ruby’s birthday is February 6, which makes her an Aquarius—a sign known for their uniqueness and loyalty. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
