About Ruby Monday

This could be the start of something paw-some. Ruby Monday is a total love bug who ended up at a high-intake shelter when her previous family moved without her. In her foster home, she lives peacefully with many other dogs and gets along with everyone – except when tensions arise; she feels responsible for keeping the peace, so she shouldn’t be left unsupervised with other dogs. Because of this, Ruby would thrive as the only pet in her new home or with someone experienced in dog handling. She adores humans of all ages and sizes, always ready for a snuggle or an adventure in the car or on walks. Don’t let her senior status fool you—Ruby is energetic and cheerful with an outgoing vibe. She would make a fantastic companion for a retiree or senior, and her impressive presence and bark offer that classic sense of protection. Ruby is spayed, microchipped, fully vetted, and current on all preventatives. She is also eligible for permanent foster care if you live within a reasonable distance of her veterinary clinic, making her a perfect choice for someone who wants companionship but worries about costs. Ruby is ready to be someone’s devoted companion in her forever home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
