Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RUBY, FEMALE, 8 YEARS OLD, 30 POUNDS, DACHSHUND MIX
RUBY IS BEING FOSTERED IN THE RICHMOND VA AREA. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RUBY, PLEASE GO TO WWW.MOMSVA.ORG AND COMPLETE AN APPLICATION.
Ruby is just like her name, she's a gem! If you're looking for a very well mannered dog look no further! Ruby is 8 years old. She came to this rescue when her owner passed away. Ruby's favorite thing is to be with her human people! She would love a home with someone who works part time or works from home. She just wants to be with you. Ruby loves to lay on the couch with you and sleep in your bed (preferable under the covers) if you don't mind. Ruby is fine being alone, and is not crated when I leave the house. Ruby will need daily walks. Her favorite activity is going for a walk and she gets so excited when you put on her leash! She acts like a puppy when it's time for her walks. She is very well mannered on her walks. Ruby is in good health, but does have allergies which are controlled by shots given by the vet. Ruby also is on grain free food because of her allergies. She does need someone who is committed to continuing her weight loss journey. When Ruby first arrived in our care, she was 40 lbs! She is now just under 30lbs and could lose a bit more weight. Ruby does like other dogs. She would do best with a male dog.
Ruby will be the perfect companion dog for you! She's absolutely adorable and just wants to please!
