Have you been missing an awesome little shadow? We may have found it!

Ruby is a 4 year-old Pittie Mix currently fostering in New England. Ruby is an active girl looking for a family who will spend a lot of time playing with her and introducing her to new fun things to do!
She’s not a big fan of being completely alone due to her separation anxiety, so a full-time human / dog companion around needed - a family with someone who works from home would be Ruby’s dream!

Ruby is not a fan of being crated for long periods during the day, even if there’s other dogs around and she will loudly let you know. As the curious girl she is, she wants to be a part of whatever her fur/ human friends are doing.
However, at night, before going to bed, her foster parents tell her to go in the crate and she goes without any issues and sleeps all night!

Ruby is house trained. She’s learned some basic commands like sit and stay, and she learned them easily so training her with additional commands shouldn’t be that much of a challenge. Ruby is eager to please her people. Ruby is very food motivated, which can be handy in training. She knows to sit and wait for feeding time with the other dogs; they all line up and she waits her turn politely until given the okay! She comes when called, most of the time. She takes treats very gently.

She is a medium dog at 53 lbs & 20” high. However, don’t let her get you fooled! She is a very strong girl with a LOT of excitement and energy in her! An active family who goes for daily long walks would be her joy. She does get excited to see other dogs and people - her foster family has been working towards her not pulling on walks and she has been making great progress! Gentle leaders won’t work with her, so some strength is necessary to take Ruby on walks! A lot of patience and positive discipline in walks will definitely be a good help for her. She loves to run and has also proven to be an escape artist. A secure fenced in yard is needed for this sweet girl.

Ruby is a good girl and we think that a home with children over 10 or homes with children familiar with and experienced in handling large, bouncy pups would be best. Ruby does best with more submissive dogs as she tend to be “bossy”. She loves playing with other dogs but does need slow introductions. She’s also not a cat “person,” so a home without cats is necessary.

Ruby’s favorite things include playing with her friends (dog and human) and then curling up with her pack to watch movies and chill. She’s happy to run and to snuggle. She is a very versatile girl and knows when play time and relax time are. This makes her an all-around great girl.

She’s in New England, so she is available for a meet and greet with your family and your pack. We think when you meet her, she will steal your heart and you won’t be able to imagine life without her!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
