Adoption Fee Sponsored by Shadow 🐾 Meet Ruby: The Sweetheart with a Gentle Soul. Ruby, a magnificent approximately seven-year-old American Bulldog mix, is a perfect blend of brawn and boundless affection. Don't let her age fool you; this outgoing girl still has plenty of pep in her step, always ready for an adventure or a vigorous play session that belies her senior status. She’s not just energetic, though—Ruby is a certified charmer who has mastered the adorable "sit pretty" command, demonstrating her intelligence and her eagerness to please. Beyond the tricks and the zoomies, Ruby's most defining characteristic is her unwavering friendliness; she's never met a stranger and consistently greets both humans and other friendly dogs with a wagging tail and an open heart. When the day is done and her playful spirit is finally winding down, she transforms into the ultimate snuggle expert, requiring nothing more than to nestle right up next to her favorite person for a cozy, contented night's sleep. This gem is currently waiting to find her forever home at 13391 Garner Lane, Chico, CA. Rest assured, like all of her shelter friends, Ruby is completely up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives and is spayed, ensuring she is happy, healthy, and ready to become a cherished member of your family. She’s proof that the best things in life—like a dog's unwavering love—are simply waiting to be adopted.
