About Loving Ruby

Ruby is a gentle, loving Yellow Labrador Retriever mix who has faced her share of changes but keeps her sweetness and devotion. She was purchased with her sister as a puppy but ended up surrendered after her family could no longer care for them. While her sister has already found a home, Ruby is now thriving in foster care—growing more confident every day. She’s about a year and a half old, healthy, spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines. Ruby weighs around 70 lbs and has short, soft yellow fur. She loves other dogs and shines in playgroups with both males and females, but she’s equally content being the only dog at home. Ruby’s manners are excellent—she’s house trained, does well in the car, and is always up for a walk or hike. She likes splashing in water and enjoys wherever the day takes her. Equally happy to curl up on the couch for a quiet evening, this dog adapts to both downtime and adventure. With a medium activity level, Ruby brings both energy and relaxation to her future family. She does best in a home without cats and is searching for owners who want a smart, loyal, lifelong best friend. If you’re ready for outdoor walks, relaxing in the yard, and plenty of snuggles, Ruby is just waiting to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
