About Ruby

Meet Ruby, a spirited and loving 1-year-old Yorkie mix, currently looking for a new home. She made her way to Wisconsin from Texas and has received plenty of love from her current family. However, they've realized that she would thrive better in a home with older, more understanding children who can respect her need for space. While Ruby enjoys playful moments, the quick movements of young children tend to make her anxious, so a calmer environment would suit her best. Ruby is friendly with other dogs and enjoys going on walks and adventures, showcasing her playful side. She's crate trained and is currently working on her potty training. This energetic girl loves playing with her stuffed animals and is a true snuggle bug. Ruby has much love to give and will need a patient family who can provide support as she settles into her new home. If you believe you can offer Ruby the understanding and care she deserves, don’t hesitate. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
