Ruby's Story

Meet Ruby! <br/>If you're looking for a best friend with a heart as big as her smile, Ruby is your girl! This 1 1/2-year-old Aussie mix located in Westminster, MD is about 50 pounds of happiness, wiggles, and unconditional love. Her favorite way to introduce herself? Rolling onto her back for belly rubs—because in Ruby's world, everyone is a friend!<br/><br/>Ruby loves romping around with other dogs at daycare, chasing her beloved herding ball around the yard, and joining her people for walks and adventures. She's smart, food motivated, crate and potty trained, knows her basic commands along with some fun tricks, and settles in nicely after she's had a chance to burn off some energy.<br/><br/>She's a sweet and gentle companion for all ages. Like any true herding breed, she may occasionally try to "round up" her favorite people, which only adds to her adorable personality.<br/><br/>Ruby would love a canine sibling who enjoys playing as much as she does! A confident, durable, and tolerant playmate would likely be her perfect match<br/><br/>If your home is missing a goofy shadow, an enthusiastic adventure buddy, and a professional belly-rub enthusiast, Ruby is ready to fill that role. All she asks in return is a little love, a little playtime, and a family to call her own. <br/><br/>If you are an approved ARMA adopter, please reach out to your volunteer representative.
