Meet Ruby 🐾 -- From Survivor to Sweet, Loyal Companion Ruby's story is one of resilience and heart. Found living under an abandoned house in the freezing cold, she was doing everything she could to keep her puppies warm and safe. After being brought to a shelter, Ruby and her babies narrowly escaped euthanasia thanks to a dedicated foster who stepped in just in time. Her puppies have all found loving homes... and now it's Ruby's turn. 💛 Ruby is an athletic, medium-energy girl who absolutely loves to run. She's happiest stretching her legs in the yard, often racing around with her foster sibling, and would make an amazing running or adventure partner. She's also incredibly smart and eager to learn--already picking up commands and making great progress with house training. Ruby is a true "Velcro dog," happiest when she's close to her people and part of the action. Ruby's highlights: 🐶 Dog-friendly and enjoys canine companions 🏃‍♀️ Athletic--would love a running buddy or active home 🧠 Smart and learning quickly 🏡 Working on house training and doing great 💛 Affectionate and loyal--loves to be near her people Ruby has come so far from her days just trying to survive. Now she's ready for a home where she can truly live--one filled with love, activity, and a family to call her own.
