About Darling Ruby

Meet Darling Ruby, a wonderfully loving Labrador who is ready to find her forever home. At about 2 and a half years old, this 70-pound beauty has been fully vetted: she's spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations. After being surrendered with her sister, Ruby has thrived in her foster home and is now bursting with affection and good manners. In foster care, Ruby has shown she loves being around other dogs and enjoys meeting them on walks or during playdates. She's great in the car and looks forward to walks, hikes, and splashing in the water. This sweet girl reliably goes potty outside and is a snuggler who can't wait to cuddle on the sofa after a day of adventures. With a medium activity level, Ruby appreciates both a homebody lifestyle and opportunities for exploration. Ruby is looking for a loving family ready to be her best friend. She's incredibly intelligent and ready to form a devoted bond with someone committed to her forever. If you think you could give her the warm and balanced life she deserves, don't hesitate to apply for adoption today!
