Story
Ruby is a sweet 3-year-old hound mix with a heart as big as her floppy ears. She weighs about 55 pounds, is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to bring sparkle to her next family. Ruby is an indoor girl at heart, but she absolutely lights up when it's time for walks or adventures at the dog park. She's playful and gets along wonderfully with both kids and other dogs. True to her hound nature, Ruby can't resist chasing rabbits, squirrels, or cats, so she'll do best in a home without feline friends.
