About Ruby

Your new best friend is just one click away. At just two years old, Ruby has already been through more than most dogs will in a lifetime. She found herself raising a litter of puppies before she was even out of puppyhood herself, and despite her young age, she was an incredible mom: gentle, nurturing, and fiercely loving. Now that her pups are grown and have all been adopted, it’s finally Ruby’s turn to be someone’s baby. Ruby is a petite pittie mix with a big, loving heart. She’s fully potty trained and crate trained, and enjoys spending time outdoors—whether it’s playing in the yard or unwinding by your side after a day of fun. Ruby can be a bit dog selective, preferring the company of submissive male dogs, but would also be perfectly happy as your one and only companion. Because she thrives on structure, consistency, and space, Ruby needs a fully fenced-in yard and is not suited for apartment or condo living. She would do best with older children and cannot live with cats. Now fully vetted and ready to start her next chapter, Ruby is searching for a forever family as loving as she is. She’s sweet, resilient, and absolutely deserves the soft life ahead. A fun astrological fact: with a July 12th birthday, Ruby is a Cancer—these pups are known to be extra loyal and affectionate!
