About Ruby

Ruby is a loving, 3-year-old mixed breed dog with a spunky spirit and tons of affection to give. Weighing around 45 lbs, she thrives on attention—her entire face lights up when she spots people she knows, and her tail might never stop wagging. Ruby is happiest running around outside with other dogs, playing with squeaky toys, or nestling in for cuddles with her family. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and lives comfortably in a household with kids, cats, and dogs. While she can be a little anxious meeting strangers or unfamiliar dogs, slow introductions work wonders, and she quickly shows her playful and gentle side. Ruby gets along well with cats—she completely ignores them and has no interest in their litter box. She’s completed a three-week board and train and picked up obedience skills incredibly fast. Her trainer raved about how eager she is to learn. Ruby isn’t one for busy outings or bustling environments; she prefers the routines of home life and calm walks outside. Agile and quick, she's capable of clearing low fences, so a secure yard or close supervision outdoors is important. Ruby is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. She’d do best with adopters who value companionship and are content to enjoy life together at home, giving this sweet girl the stability she craves. Ready to fall in love?
