Papaya (Ruby)'s Story

Nothing says Merry Christmas like unbridled joy and Papaya (aka Ruby) has it in spades! This energetic bundle of sweetness is a 2-yr-old, 50 lb. Pittie mix who loves being part of a pack. Ruby gets along well with other dogs and LOVES to play. Her ideal home would have a willing playmate, a large fenced yard for her serious zoomies, and a warm human lap for cuddle time. <br/><br/>Ruby spent part of her youth in the stray scene but has quickly settled into home life. She is very people focused, treat motivated and eager to please, which serves her well in her foster home, where she's getting high marks in the GOOD GIRL category. She knows basic commands, uses the dog door like a champ, and her leash skills are improving daily with encouragement and yummy treats. She is also learning what not to do, like jumping... It's just SO HARD when there's so much love to give! With this much energy, Ruby will do best in a home with no small children. <br/><br/>Need to go out for a bit? No problem. Ruby loves car rides! She settles in quickly and enjoys watching the sights go by. If you need to leave her at home, she'll hang out quietly in her crate with a good bone or toy until you return. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a companion who's up for anything, Ruby is your gal. You provide the adventure, she'll provide the excitement! Give this girl her forever home and you'll be rewarded with loads of love, loyalty and laughter! <br/><br/>Ruby is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. She is available for adoption through the Alternative Humane Society. <br/><br/>Fill out your statement of interest TODAY! www.alternativehumanesociety.com.
