About Ruebee
Ruebee had a rough start, arriving as a stray with a severe skin infection that turned out to be a rare autoimmune disorder called Canine Familial Dermatomyositis. Her condition requires thoughtful management—think check-ups, some trial and error, and extra care to avoid inflammation triggers. Most days, though, Ruebee simply wants to be with her people. She bonds deeply, stays close, and delights in simple things like lounging in the shade and watching birds. She’s playful, gentle, and steady, often checking in just to be sure she hasn’t been left behind. Ruebee loves cheese, enjoys zooming around, and finds joy even on the tough days. Ruebee isn’t an “easy” dog, and her ongoing health needs mean she comes with extra responsibilities. She sometimes gets flaky or scaly skin, may need adjustments in care, and is still learning her way after her time as a stray. But if you value building trust and companionship, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty, laughter, and the quiet comfort of a true friend. Ruebee gets along well with other dogs and is good with children. She will thrive with someone home often—someone who sees caregiving as a genuine act of love. If you’re looking for a dog who will change your perspective and become family, Ruebee is ready to meet you. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
