Ruby is a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois and Boxer mix with a sharp mind and boundless energy, qualities that define her breed combination. Since arriving at the shelter following an owner surrender, she’s found it difficult to adjust and is easily stressed by the busy environment. Her short, tan coat and those trademark upright ears make her stand out immediately. Ruby craves time outdoors—walks, running, anything to keep her engaged, both mentally and physically. She’s a sweet and friendly companion, but true to her working dog roots, she’ll thrive in a home that can provide plenty of structured activity and training. Ruby is house trained and spayed, and her vaccinations are all up to date. On her walks she sometimes barks at other dogs, but her body language isn’t aggressive, so with careful introductions, she has potential for sharing her home with another dog. She’ll need regular exercise and thoughtful stimulation to be truly happy. Ruby’s sun sign is Virgo, which often brings out an alert, loyal personality. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
