Story
Ruby is a wonderful, affectionate, darling girl who will excel in most homes. In her foster home, she lives with other dogs, is visited by children on a regular basis, and we know she loves both men and women. Ruby has visited an especially safe and friendly dog park and we have never seen any issue. We do think that she is also independent and strong willed; we seek a confident dog owner, one who understands how to create positive boundaries for her and other dogs in the home. She loves car rides, will sit nicely on a senior person's walker, walks well on leash or harness, and loves loves loves attention.
