About Ruby

Meet Ruby, a young Chihuahua who needs a foster-to-adopt home. Ruby is a small girl with a sweet yet shy demeanor, which makes her perfect for a caring environment. She will thrive in a home with a fenced yard as she can be easily frightened while on a leash, so this is a priority for her placement. We are looking for a foster home that lives within 80 miles of Adams, NY. Ideal adopters will have previous or current pets that are up to date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. It's important that you’re able to bring Ruby back to our vet in Adams if further care is needed before adoption. After adoption, we recommend seeing your own veterinarian to establish care. Potential adopters should have enough time to socialize and train Ruby as she adjusts to her new home. If you think you can provide a loving space for Ruby, she may just steal your heart. She is done with her initial vet check and current on all vaccines. Ruby will be spayed prior to adoption. Is your heart open to this sweet girl? Click apply to start the adoption process.
