Ruby is a 13-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a beautiful coat and a steady, loyal personality. She’s lived with people of all ages, other dogs, and cats, and has been a companion in a home. Ruby already knows how to be a dog in a household—she’s well-mannered, house-trained, and settles in without a lot of fuss. She enjoys being outside, still has a little spark for the things she loves (tennis balls, fresh air), and then is perfectly happy to come in and relax on a dog bed, in her kennel, or right on the couch. Ruby rides well in the car, knows her commands, and has that calm, "I’ve got this" kind of presence that makes her easy to live with. With other dogs, Ruby has done well, but she prefers ones who respect her space and don’t get right in her face. She’s a "mind your manners and we’ll get along just fine" kind of girl. And here’s the part we love... She’s got a little spring in her step—but she’s not looking to run any marathons. If that sounds like you too, you might just be a perfect match. Ruby isn’t asking for much—just a quiet home, a soft place to land, and someone to share the day with. The kind of dog who settles in beside you, keeps you company, and just belongs. If you’ve got a soft spot for older dogs and appreciate a steady, easygoing companion, Ruby might be exactly who you’re looking for. Ruby’s adoption fee has been generously sponsored by White’s Party Store in Marquette—she is ready to go home at no cost to her adopter.
