About Ruby

Meet Ruby, a lively Poodle mix who recently returned to our care after being in a home for a few years. At just 2 years old, this smart and affectionate girl is looking for her real forever family. Ruby has been adapting well in her foster home, where she lives with a mini goldendoodle and a wonderful young girl. She's house trained, eagerly sits for meals and snacks, and hasn't had a single accident! While Ruby does deal with a manageable condition called Masticatory Muscle Myositis, which affects her ability to open her mouth, she is currently thriving and may need a brief course of prednisone to manage it. Ruby gets along with both dogs and children, making her an excellent companion. She's ready to find the family who will give her the love she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
