Ruby

My story

Ruby is a 6 month old Belgian Mal mix. Her and her siblings were born on the streets in South Texas. They wondered onto a man's property when they were about 3 months old and he kept them safe until he could find help. A few were given away and the remaining 4 were all female (Ruby, Lola, Mia and Violet). We were afraid if they were given away they wouldn’t receive the care they needed so we stepped in and immediately took them to the vet to get vaccinated & preventatives. Shortly after they got spayed & microchipped and received 2 more round of vaccines to insure were protected. Ruby has recently made her journey to DFW and is slowly making progress. She is a puppy that wants attentions but is cautious in the beginning until she realizes you are there to show her love and companionship. She has the sweetest personality once you get to know her and she gets settles in. The vet staff always says she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She would do best with a family that works from home or has a family member that stays home or a family with another dog to keep her company as she gets lonely. We are making progress with potty training she has had minimal accidents but foster mom takes her out regularly and after every meal. We are also working on training with a leash. She does well on car rides and is super gentle when you give her a treat. She hasn't shown signs of hyperactively, she has normal energy level but will update if anything changes as we get to know each other more. Overall foster mom says she's a great dog and will make an extremely loyal companion. The only negative thing she does is howl when alone. That's why she would do best with a work from home family or to have another dog in the house to keep her company. She also recommends for her to be in a house with a secure backyard as she likes to run around but she is small enough to squeeze through small places if she wants. Ruby is on the smaller side weighing in at 36 pounds. We estimate for her to be about 50-55lb Note: We always respond first to inquiries that tell us something about your living situation (house, apartment, single, family, etc.) and why you want this dog. Be sure to include your phone number in your inquiry. We call inquiries that are a good fit for the dog.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ruby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
