About Ruby

Ruby is an adorable Chihuahua mix who arrived in the world under special circumstances, born in rescue after her mother was saved from a high-kill shelter in Southern California. This sweet baby has been loved and socialized since her first days, giving her a great start in life. At just one month old, Ruby is still too young to be altered, but her spay will be covered by our rescue once she’s ready. She will need some time to learn the ropes, so expect to engage in potty, leash, and crate training with her. Ruby is expected to grow into a small dog, likely around the same size as her mother, who weighs about 11 lbs. Ruby gets along well with children, dogs, and even cats. Being a little young for adoption, she will be ready to find her forever home after June 20th. The adoption fee is $650, plus a refundable $100 deposit for her spay when the time comes. Thank you for considering Ruby as your new companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
