Meet Ruby

Say hello to RUBY!?? This sweet seven-year-old Greyhound/Whippet mix (50 lbs) cannot wait to find her forever home. In her much younger years she was neglected and abused by a family who only kept her in a cage? You would never know with how sweet she is now. She has spent quite a bit of time in our shelter, but is now in a foster home at last and gets to show us how wonderful she really is!
Ruby is the sweetest thing and loves cuddles, kisses, and loving on her humans. She is very affectionate and will never leave you lonely!
She is houstrained and crate trained. She is good with other dogs but can be leash and kennel reactive, so she needs to meet them in an environment where she doesn’t feel restrained. She has been in homes with other dogs and done perfectly fine! However, cats are a no-go. She is good with kids but is strong and can be a little clumsy, so parents must be aware and able to work with her on being gentle around the little humans.
Although Ruby is seven years old, she is very spry and would like to be with an active family. She LOVES playing fetch, frisbee, tug-of-war, and would also make a great running pal if that’s your thing! Her maturity brings balance though, so she is down to chill and take naps on the couch with you too.
Ruby is so agile and strong that she can jump a six foot privacy fence! (You have to admit, it’s impressive.) Because of this she shouldn’t be left in a yard unsupervised, at least until her adopter fully understands her tendencies and builds trust with her.
The wait has been long and Ruby is more than ready for her forever home! Ready for endless cuddles, kisses, and adventures? Apply for Ruby at purple-paws.org! Her adoption fee is $200, which covers a portion of her care expenses.

FOSTER UPDATE 1-28-20:
This is definitely one of those cases where people have no clue what they are missing out on — Ruby is the BEST girl. She absolutely loves to snuggle and is on our laps any chance she can get. I’ve absolutely never met a more affectionate dog which is seriously saying something. She’s a bit clumsy and crazy sometimes, but her energy level hasn’t been anything above the norm (or anything close to some of our previous fosters?) and she is usually really calm. We take her to the fenced baseball park across from our apartment a few times a week and she has never tried to jump the fence at all????? She is really smart and listens so well!
We are trying with all our hearts to get this girl adopted as we are moving out of state in April and we will absolutely never allow her to return to the shelter (aka we are either getting this girl adopted or she’s coming with us?). If you guys know anybody looking for a super chill but fun companion, please tell them how awesome this girl is!?
