My story

Hi, I am Ruba—Aruba-born, island original, and your future low-key best friend. I started out on the streets, but I have traded that life in for something much better… and I am ready to find my person to share it with. I am a little more of a “take it all in” kind of girl at first, but once I know I am safe, the wiggles come out and the joy is very real. I love other dogs, enjoy a good adventure, and I am happiest just being near my person—close enough to keep you company, but cool enough to respect your space too. Think of me as the perfect balance of independent and affectionate. I am also smart and already working on my skills like the good girl I am. I am currently in foster in Pennsylvania and can travel to my perfect match… so tell me, are you ready for a sweet, steady, quietly amazing companion who will make your life better without ever making a big fuss about it? 🐾

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