About Ruby

Meet Ruby! Like the gemstone she's named after, Ruby is beautiful, resilient, and shines even after life's toughest storms. This lovely Black Mouth Cur and German Shepherd mix is around 3 years old and has a heart as big as her infectious smile. Ruby's life took a turn when a fire destroyed her family's home, leaving her to adapt to a new reality without everything she loved. After months in a shelter, she’s learning what it feels like to be cherished and safe once more. Ruby simply adores her people. Whether you’re in the kitchen, living room, or even the bathroom, you can count on Ruby to be right beside you. She thrives on affection, tail wags, and those soulful looks that just melt your heart. Due to the changes in her life, Ruby can sometimes feel anxious when her foster mom is out of sight. Having lost her home and loved ones, she seeks constant reassurance. But she’s already making strides in confidence, understanding that love is always present, even when no one’s around. Ruby is great with other dogs, kid-friendly, housebroken, crate trained, playful, smart, and sweet. As her vetting nears completion, she’s eager to begin her next adventure with a forever family. After surviving so much, Ruby is now looking for the warmth of a family to love her, a cozy couch to claim, and a home to finally call her own. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
