My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

What did Cher, Bon Jovi, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Madonna, David Bowie, Nikki Sixx, and maybe you or your mom have in common in the 80s? Bigger-than-life hairstyles! In the 80s, hairspray, blow-dryers, mousse and teasing combs were essentials for looking your best. While most of us left that trend in the past where it belonged, our pup Ruby hasn’t gotten the memo. Her motto is “Big hair-don’t care!” She is quite a beloved character around here, with volunteers sharing:

“I was recently talking to another volunteer about Ruby and they said she looks like she just woke up, and they were right- Ruby has a serious case of bedhead! She`s super fluffy and always looks a bit like she just rolled out of bed. Ruby is friendly, easy to walk, and has bigger hair than someone with, well… really big hair! This girl is a nice compact size and is a fun little companion.”

“I walked Ruby while two other volunteers shadowed me. She seemed comfortable rolling around with an entourage. She actually didn`t pay much attention to us because she walked with her held high, sniffing the breeze and taking in the sights around her. Overall, she was easy to leash, handle and walk!”

Ruby has been playful and social when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Ruby is a petite pup with big hair and a big personality! She’d love to add you to her entourage- ask to meet her today!
