Ruby is a sweet girl who loves getting affection from her people and giving it in return! She also enjoys playing fetch or goofing around with her feline roommates and has plenty of energy to burn on a long walk or a jog, especially for being over a decade old!

Ruby does not live with any other dogs, but she always gets stellar dog-sitting report cards when she spends a few days with the other dogs in their home. That said, her off-leash dog park visits have been a mixed bag. When it comes to chasing and rough housing, she loves to dish it out but can get a bit snippy when it’s reciprocated.

Ruby’s food motivation is unmatched, which makes training a piece of cake but can be a challenge when access to human food isn’t tightly controlled. Her foster family likes to call it “opportunistic sharking.”

Ruby is selective with unfamiliar humans and can be reactive in new situations, though she typically warms quickly to anyone with a kind voice, a calm body, and a handful of treats. She saw marked improvement through training in the past, and continuing this work will be important for her. She also found life with young kids a bit too chaotic and unpredictable, so she’s looking for a child-free home where she can feel safe and secure.

Ruby would absolutely love a fenced yard in her new home. Standing watch (and running fast!) to keep it clear of small animals is one of her favorite pastimes.

So if you’re looking for a loving, loyal pup to share your low-stress home (and you’re sick of losing your lilies to nibbling bunnies), Ruby might just be the dog for you!
