About Ruby

Ruby is a delightful 4-year-old Lab mix who embodies the essence of a great companion. With excellent manners, she seamlessly integrates into social settings, making outings a breeze. She enjoys meeting new people and is well-behaved, which makes her a joy to have around. Ruby is friendly with other dogs in public, but at home, she prefers to be the only pet, enjoying her space and the company of her humans without sharing toys or attention with other four-legged friends. Her favorite activities include playing ball and joyfully carrying around her squeaky toys. Ruby brings a playful yet calm energy to the household, content to settle down beside you when the day's excitement winds down. Given her personality, a cat-free home would suit her best, as she tends to show too much curiosity toward them. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind dog rather than a full pack, Ruby is a fantastic choice. She simply wants a ball, a cozy spot to nap, and loving people to call her own. She’s affectionate and easygoing, making her a perfect addition to a loving home. Ready to welcome Ruby into your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
