About Ruby
Ruby is being fostered in Portage, MI. Meet Ruby, a striking Blue Merle Aussie mix with a fluffy coat. Her vibrant personality shines as she adores every human she meets. She was born on November 1, 2024, and weighs around 33 lbs. Ruby is both crate and house trained, displaying excellent manners in the home. Ideally, she would prefer to be the only pet, soaking up all the affection to herself. Her foster mom takes her on exciting outdoor adventures, which Ruby thoroughly enjoys. This sweet girl thrives on continued training and would love to attend obedience or trick classes to keep her mind engaged. It's essential that she has a strong leader; without this, she may try to take charge, which isn't always in her best interest. Ruby is highly motivated by food and praise, and she flourishes under positive reinforcement. While a fenced yard is preferable, she can channel her energy through engaging activities like dog sports. Ruby would do best in a household with children over 10 years old. If you're ready to welcome her into your life, she promises a loyal and loving companionship. Ready to make Ruby part of your family?
