About Ruby

Ruby arrived at the shelter as a stray, and while her past is a bit unclear, she has a heart full of potential. She can be shy, particularly around men, and prefers not to have people reach over her head. Luckily, she is learning to trust and gaining confidence in her surroundings. When Ruby feels safe, she transforms into a loving companion, ready to offer endless affection and loyalty. This medium-sized Pit Bull mix is around 3 years old and has a beautiful brindle coat with a playful spirit. Ruby is housebroken and enjoys training, especially if treats are involved. She gets along well with other dogs but would do best in a home without children. An ideal adopter would be patient and understanding, allowing Ruby to take her time in forming bonds. She will repay that trust with love and a wiggly, affectionate demeanor. Could you be the one to give Ruby her forever home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
