Meet the delightful Ruby! This pint-sized powerhouse is an irresistibly adorable 1-year-old, 12-pound Dachshund/Chihuahua mix 🌟. Rescued from a challenging hoarding situation in New Mexico, where she lived with over 30 dogs 🐶, Ruby is on a journey to discover what it means to be cherished and loved. Now, she is ready to find a forever home where she can truly flourish! Ruby needs a special companion—a small, confident dog—to help her come out of her shell. Imagine the joy of watching her thrive alongside a furry friend! 👫💖 With her playful spirit shining through, Ruby is a bundle of joy and silliness. Once she trusts someone, she blossoms into a floppy-eared cuddle bug who follows her humans everywhere, showering them with kisses and snuggles 🤗. According to her dedicated foster, Ruby has made incredible strides in the month she's been in their home. Initially shy and fearful of human touch, she soon learned that love is abundant! ❤️Ruby has such a playful side; jumping into bed, getting the zoomies around the living room, and any chance she gets to join in on family meals—let’s just say, food is her ultimate weakness (and who can blame her?)! 🍖😄 Her foster family emphasized the importance of patience, as Ruby needs time to build trust. A little respect for her boundaries works wonders! Once she settled in, it didn’t take long for her to flourish into a playful puppy full of life and happiness 🎉. Ruby is doing incredibly well with potty training, adapting to the outside world like a champion! She started with potty pads, but after a few trips outside with treats to motivate her, she’s almost mastered it! How amazing is that? 🐾 Although she has become crate-trained, she’d prefer to be in a home with another dog, as she might feel anxious being alone. Ruby would thrive best in a dog-proofed home where her curious little self won’t find any trouble—or tasty snacks! 🍪👀 This sweet girl deserves someone with experience in helping dogs like her. A loving human who is patient and understands that gaining trust takes time will be rewarded with a playful, loving companion. And just imagine the joy of seeing her bloom! 🌈 So, let’s make Ruby’s story one of triumph. She has been fully vetted, is in great health, and is spayed and ready for her forever home!
