About Ruby

Ruby is a sweet 3-year-old St. Bernard who came to the sanctuary with her sister, Rosie. Their previous owner realized they couldn't manage two adult dogs and decided to surrender them, giving Ruby a chance for a new life. Weighing in at 110 lbs, Ruby is slightly larger than Rosie, but she maintains a petite frame for a St. Bernard. She's getting along well with other dogs and has shown a gentle disposition toward cats, having never been exposed to them before. Ruby loves to cuddle, making her perfect for cozy movie nights. Having been raised with young children, she adores their company and is well-suited for a family environment. Ruby is house and crate trained, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She is heartworm negative and microchipped. To ensure her safety, she will need a fenced yard. If you’d like to meet Ruby, reach out to fill out an application. Just a heads up: an in-person meet and greet is required before adoption, so prepare to travel to Missouri if you're from out of state. The sanctuary is located in Dittmer, MO.
