Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ruby 💗
Ruby is an approximately 2yr old dachshund mix and weighs 21lbs. She came from a hoarding situation along with her 2-day old puppies. She arrived to 2nd Hand Paws very skinny and scared, but has now gained weight and is working on her shyness. After she gets to know you, she will want to be in the same room with you all the time. She loves to play and is particular to stuffed toys; she loves to carry them around and snuggle up with them. She is also highly treat motivated, and will sneak nibbles if you have a plate of food within her reach. She plays well with other dogs: small, medium, and large, and walks well on a leash. She has a tendency to find her foster mom’s shoes and move them when mom isn’t at home, but luckily doesn’t chew on them. She is crate trained, but would prefer to roam the house. She has been left alone for 5 hours not crated without any problems, but does sleep in her crate. She is also house trained and will go to the door when she has to go out. Ruby’s puppies have found their furever homes, and now it is her turn! If you think Ruby is a good fit for you, please apply now!
Ruby is current on vaccines, spay, and microchipped.
