Ruby’s name says it all- she is the finest of all the gems available and she is patiently waiting for the opportunity to blossom into the gorgeous flower that she is she is!
This pitty mix lives her life to the fullest and loves hard. She gets along great with other pups and does quite excellent with children. If you’re looking for a new best friend to cuddle with, Ruby Rose is the lady for you! Did we mention she gives the best hugs? Come let her plant one on you!
This dog is hospice due to the following medical conditions: limited mobility due to advanced arthritis.
Here are some notes from her foster:
Ruby is the sweetest old grandma! We have a busy house full of dogs from a tiny 2.4lb chihuahua to a large pittie boy and she’s great with everyone. She loves people of all ages and is very friendly and welcoming to any guests.
Ruby has a good deal of arthritis and shaky legs. I’ve taken her to nearby parks and beaches to sniff around but she will peter out pretty fast on a regular walk. She has about 4 slow blocks in her before she needs a rest. At home she mostly wants to follow us everywhere, but she does really love to be outside. She has pretty constant indoor/outdoor access and really likes to snooze in a bed outside. She seems housebroken but does best on a schedule of walking her outside to make sure she has the opportunity to go.
She may have some vision blurriness or possibly be a little new to some indoor house things as she’s walked into mirrors and windows many times. The longer she’s been here the more she’s adjusted, and she navigates pretty easily and will take herself outside when she needs.
Ruby is super affectionate and now that she’s more comfy she loves to try and lumber herself up on the couch for cuddle time. She loves dogs but she’s also a little clueless about space and will come very close to sniff a dog or go try to eat out of their bowl. Our dogs don’t mind but a more sensitive dog might not love her cow-like tendencies. She would love a work from home person and a stair-free home would be best for her. Ruby is such a special sweetheart who deserves some TLC in her golden years!
