About Ruby

Meet Ruby, an enchanting eight-month-old Rat Terrier mix. Abandoned with her twin brother, Max, they’ve both overcome a rough start and are now ready to find their forever homes. Ruby is a gentle soul who may be a bit shy initially but quickly warms up to reveal her friendly and playful nature. This compact bundle of happiness weighs 19 pounds, making her an ideal companion for adventures like park walks or backyard games of fetch. Ruby has a curious spirit and walks well on a leash, though she is still learning about potty breaks outdoors. A fenced yard would be perfect for her to run freely. She thrives on love and patience, searching for a family that will welcome her with open arms. If you’re ready to add a loyal and affectionate pup to your life, Ruby is excited to meet you!
