Story
Ruby CAS is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Ruby has had multiple litters in her life and has that protective mama gene. She can be barky when visitors come over and can be a little too rough with some dogs, she gets along best with boy dogs her size that want to play with her but don’t threaten her either. She wants to be with you at all times and loves to sit high up like windowsills or on tables. She is very quirky, very playful and loves to be outside. She warms up quicker to women than men. She will make a family very happy if you give her the chance to trust you! **Due to clinic delays: this puppy will be available for adoption with the collection of an additional $100 spay/neuter voucher deposit, which will be refunded upon receipt of successful procedure at our partnering clinic. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today! Be sure to check our Facebook page "Rhode Home Rescue" for details on upcoming events and other announcements.
