About Ruby

Ruby is a young, playful beagle who thrives on attention and affection. Weighing in at 24 lbs, she loves to explore and has shown a knack for escaping, having previously climbed a chain link fence. Because of this, she's best suited for an environment where she won’t be left unattended outdoors. Affectionate and food-motivated, Ruby eagerly anticipates mealtime, often jumping in excitement. She enjoys being petted, gently nudging those around her to keep the love flowing. While she is playful with other dogs, she sometimes gets a bit rough-and-tumble during play, especially with larger dogs. If another dog approaches unexpectedly, she might react with some growling, but it's more about her surprise than aggression. Currently being fostered just south of Boston, Ruby gets along well with both dogs and cats, making her a versatile addition to a loving home. Get ready for your new furry companion!
