About Ruby

Ruby is a shy girl with a big heart! She loves treats and pets, and is very curious about the world around her. As she's been here at the shelter, we have seen her come out of her shell more and more every day! If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion (and have lots of yummy treats and cozy nap spots!) Ruby is your girl! Ruby is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. You can meet her 12-6 daily as CASPCA or email us at adoptions@caspca.org for more info!

About Black Mouth Cur Dogs

Black Mouth Curs are rugged, versatile Southern working dogs known for their loyalty, courage, and strong work ethic. They get their name from the distinctive dark muzzle that most carry. Originally bred for hunting, herding, and guarding homesteads, they are tough and capable.

Adopting a Black Mouth Cur brings a devoted, protective companion into your family. They bond deeply with their people and are gentle with children. Their high energy and intelligence mean they do best with active families who can give them plenty of exercise and purpose.
