About Ruby

Ruby is a lively 7.5-year-old Golden Retriever ready for adventures! She enjoys trail runs, hikes, and long walks, then loves to unwind with snuggles at home. Calm and house-trained, she's a loyal companion who treasures her people. Ruby is seeking a home where she can be the only pet. Her reactivity and strong prey drive make her unsuitable for homes with other dogs or small animals. Older children are recommended, as she can get a bit mouthy when excited. Being athletic, she has been known to jump over gates and fences, so a secure yard is essential. She's struggled with separation anxiety, but medication has helped manage it, allowing her to stay alone for up to four hours. Ruby needs an adopter who understands her challenges and is committed to helping her lead a happy life with clear boundaries. In return, she promises to be a devoted friend for life. If you think you can be the one to give Ruby the love she deserves, she could be the perfect match for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
