About Ruby

Ruby is a confident and playful girl who's nearly two years old and weighs about 33 pounds. She brings together a charming mix of curiosity and affection, always eager to know what's going on around her. Whether she’s standing tall on her hind legs to get a better view or following her humans around to be part of the action, her personality shines brightly. Training has been going well; Ruby has successfully started potty training and hasn't had any accidents at home lately. She's also crate trained and takes to her crate without fuss when it’s time for a nap. Ruby enjoys walks but is still learning to control her curiosity when it comes to interesting smells. Strong on cuddling and always ready for a snack, she values her time with people — especially if they offer treats like apples, bananas, or zucchini! She's friendly with kids and has a soft spot for her sister Dobby but is also non-reactive around other dogs. Ruby would thrive in an active home that can provide her with plenty of exercise and attention, whether it's playing in the yard or enjoying dog park adventures. If you’re searching for a sweet companion who loves to join in on walks and share affection, Ruby might be the perfect fit for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
