Ruby

Ruby's story is one of resilience and heart. Found living under an abandoned house in the freezing cold, she was doing everything she could to keep her puppies warm and safe. After being brought to a shelter, Ruby and her babies narrowly escaped euthanasia thanks to a dedicated foster who stepped in just in time.<br/><br/>Her puppies have all found loving homes... and now it's Ruby's turn. 💛<br/><br/>Ruby is an athletic, medium-energy girl who absolutely loves to run. She's happiest stretching her legs in the yard, often racing around with her foster sibling, and would make an amazing running or adventure partner. <br/><br/>This girl is also a curious girl who loves to explore the world through her nose and never misses a chance to investigate new sights and scents.<br/><br/>She's also incredibly smart and eager to learn, already picking up commands and making great progress with house training. Ruby is a true "Velcro dog," happiest when she's close to her people and part of the action.<br/><br/>Ruby's highlights:<br/><br/>🐶 Dog-friendly and enjoys canine companions (as you can see here: https://youtube.com/shorts/T8qXD7foCqQ)<br/>🏃‍♀️ Athletic--would love a running buddy or active home<br/>🧠 Smart and learning quickly<br/>🏡 House trained<br/>💛 Affectionate and loyal--loves to be near her people<br/>😃 Has the most amazing smile <br/><br/><br/>Ruby has come so far from her days just trying to survive. Now she's ready for a home where she can truly live--one filled with love, activity, and a family to call her own.<br/><br/>Name: Ruby<br/>Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/Crossbreed (Breed mix is not guaranteed by DNA testing)<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Age: 2.5 years (estimated)<br/>Weight: 60<br/>Spayed/Neutered: NO<br/>Vaccinations: Up to date<br/>Heartworm: Positive on recent testing - treatment has started.<br/>Microchipped: Yes<br/><br/>BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:<br/>Good with Children: Over 5 due to her excitability level<br/>Good with Dogs: Yes, enjoys their company<br/>Good with Cats: No<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $450.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)<br/> $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.<br/><br/>Location of dog currently: Memphis<br/><br/>IMPORTANT INFORMATION - <br/><br/>Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England. <br/><br/>Adoption donations cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary.<br/><br/>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.
