Meet Ruby!
Ruby is a stunning young female German Shepherd, about 1–3 years old, with a warm personality that shines despite a rough start in life.
Her Story:
Ruby’s former owner surrendered her after keeping her chained to a tree for much of her young life. When she arrived at the shelter, she was full of parasites, but she’s since been treated and given the fresh start she deserves. Ruby quickly became a shelter favorite, passing all of her assessments with flying colors. When the shelter sadly began euthanizing adoptable dogs due to space, staff reached out for help—they couldn’t bear the thought of Ruby losing her chance at a happy future.
Personality & Temperament:
Ruby is outgoing, affectionate, and thrives on human attention. She loves both men and women, is confident, and makes steady eye contact. Her easygoing, friendly nature makes her a joy to be around. Ruby is food-motivated (with no signs of food aggression), which will make training a breeze. She already knows “sit” and is eager to learn more.
Other Dogs & Cats:
Ruby did beautifully meeting another friendly dog—tail wagging, happy to walk alongside, and even shared treat time calmly. She’s energetic but not overwhelming and would enjoy a home with another playful dog. She also had a respectful response when introduced to cats, backing away quickly when one swatted at her.
Ideal Home:
Ruby would love a fenced yard where she can run and play, ideally with another doggy companion. She doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety and will settle well into a loving foster or forever home.
Why Ruby?
She’s the perfect mix of resilience and sweetness—a dog who has every reason to be wary of people, yet chooses to greet the world with joy. Ruby is ready to leave her past behind and become someone’s loyal friend and adventure buddy.
