My name is Ruby!

Are you searching for a sweet, independent companion? Your search ends here! Meet RUBY! At 2-years-old and 65lbs, Ruby is the ideal dog for both first-time and experienced pet owners. From the moment she arrived at my home, she has been perfectly house-trained, with no accidents at all! She has mastered the “sit” command and is a well-behaved girl who doesn’t chew on anything when left alone. While she is crate-trained, Ruby does have a charming hound personality—sometimes she needs a little encouragement to settle into her crate, often looking at you with her big, expressive eyes as if to say, “Do I have to?” She adores her stuffed toys and surprisingly doesn’t destroy them, which is a first for me! Here’s what you should know about Ruby: she’s a hound, meaning her sense of smell is exceptional! She loves to explore her surroundings and will dart to the fence line to investigate any interesting scents—be it rabbits, deer, or other critters. For this reason, she needs a secure yard, ideally not a chain-link fence, as she may attempt to dig underneath it. Ruby doesn’t like being left outside alone, and who can blame her? She’s a social girl! While she listens well, she sometimes pretends not to hear when she’s outside, though I assure you she can hear my voice just fine! Ruby is independent and can entertain herself, but when she wants attention, she’ll gently nudge your hand with her head to let you know it’s time for some love. She walks well on a leash but is always on the lookout for fun animals to chase. Ruby is great with other dogs, but they must respect her space. She enjoys playtime but appreciates her alone time as well. She has her own cozy room, and when she’s in the mood for some solitude, she’ll retreat there to relax on her doggie bed, often with a toy in her mouth! If you’re looking for a sweet, loving girl who is independent, good with other dogs, and house-trained—albeit with some lovable hound traits—Ruby could be the perfect addition to your family. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to bring this wonderful pup into your life. Apply now, and let’s see if Ruby can become your next furry family member. She can’t wait to meet her forever family!
