About Ruby

Ruby is a striking girl with classic Shepherd coloring, embodying a sweet personality that shines through her sweet face. At about 5 months old and weighing between 35-40 lbs, she is blossoming into a lovely young dog. Rescued alongside her mama, Raven, and her siblings after being found abandoned, Ruby has been thriving in foster care, ready to take on a new adventure with a loving family. This Shepherd/Lab mix has had a great start in life. Ruby has been raised in a family environment and has shown herself to be great with other dogs, cats, and children. Her positive socialization makes her well-suited to various homes. Ruby has completed all her veterinary care: she is spayed, up to date on vaccinations including DHPP, Bordetella, and rabies, and is microchipped. She’s also been dewormed, had a negative fecal test, and cleared by a vet, and she’s current on all necessary preventatives. Now, all she needs is a family to call her own.
