About Ruby

Meet Ruby, an adorable 12-week-old puppy weighing 4.5 pounds. She found her way to us from Kentucky, joining our rescue as one of five siblings; her four littermates have already headed to their forever homes. Ruby is the epitome of a playful pup, full of energy and curiosity. Currently learning to use pee pads, she'll need a bit more training before she's ready to go outside. She’s scheduled for her final distemper shot soon and will receive her rabies vaccination at that time, so she’s on track for her health. Being a Beagle/Jack Russell mix, Ruby will thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can play freely. She gets along well with other dogs, which makes her a fantastic addition for families with furry friends. All Ruby needs now is a loving home where she can continue to grow and learn.
