About Ruby
Meet Ruby! If you're looking for a best friend with a heart as big as her smile, Ruby is your girl! This 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd in Alexandria, VA is about 50 pounds of happiness, wiggles, and unconditional love. Her favorite way to greet people? Rolling onto her back for belly rubs—because in Ruby's world, everyone is a friend! Ruby loves romping with other dogs at daycare, chasing her cherished herding ball around the yard, and joining her family for walks and adventures. She's clever, food motivated, crate and potty trained, and knows her basic commands along with some fun tricks. After she's had a chance to burn off some energy, she settles in nicely. She’s a gentle companion for all ages. Like any true herding breed, she might try to "round up" her favorite humans, which only adds to her charm. Ruby would thrive with a canine sibling who enjoys play just as much as she does. A confident and playful friend would suit her perfectly. If your home is in need of a goofy shadow, an enthusiastic adventure buddy, and a professional belly-rub seeker, Ruby is ready to fill that role. All she asks for is a little love, some playtime, and a family to call her own. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
