My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ADOPTED!!!

Oh what a sweetheart RUBY is and she has come a long way since coming into my home. When she was found 3 months ago with her brother and dad roaming the streets of San Antonio, TX she had no socialization skills. I had to walk around holding her, laying on the floor on her level keeping her company and just treating her like a real foster child to get use to my home. RUBY now comes to me for head rubs and she snuggles with me to sleep and just be close. A long way of improvements since she use to run from me.

She is very crate trained and goes to her crate automatically when I say it is time for me to go out. She is mostly potty trained, 75% trained. She runs out of her crate to the backdoor immediately to go potty. I do not have a doggy door.

RUBY would love to go to a home with a pet playmate, she will not do good as an only pet as she follows the dogs around and they are her security. She is a follower and such a good girl. She gets along with everyone and walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting car sick.

RUBY is 10 months old and weighs 10 pounds. Her dad only weighed 14 pounds so I do not expect that she will exceed that weight as a true adult. There was no sign of her mother anywhere. She is already so cute but she has a slight underbite which makes her even cutier and unique.

RUBY will require grooming every 8-10 weeks because her hair grows and you do not want it to start matting.

If you are interested in adopting RUBY please call me or submit an application on the website below. Thank you.
