Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐶Meet Ruby: A Loving Mama Ready for Her Forever Home🐶
Ruby is a sweet and resilient 1- to 2-year-old lab mix who has overcome a challenging start to life. Along with her sisters, Reba and Robin, Ruby was rescued from the streets of Arkansas, where she faced the hardships of hunger, pregnancy, and heartworm disease. Despite these struggles, Ruby’s gentle nature never faltered. After making her way to Illinois, she raised her puppies with love and care and has successfully undergone treatment for heartworm. Now, Ruby is ready to find her happily ever after with a family who will provide her with the love and security she deserves.
Ruby’s Wonderful Traits:
Crate Trained: Ruby is comfortable in her crate and settles in quietly.
Good with Dogs of All Ages and Sizes: Ruby enjoys the company of other dogs and fits in well with a canine family.
Tolerates Cats: While Ruby is tolerant of cats, if they run, she’s up for a good chase, so a home with dog-savvy cats would be best.
Loving with Humans of All Ages and Sizes: Ruby adores people and is affectionate with everyone she meets.
Affectionate and Loyal: She wants nothing more than a loving hand to pet her and a soft place to lay after a long day.
Playful and Energetic: Ruby loves to run, play with toys, and wrestle with other dogs. After playing hard, she’s just as happy to nap hard, too.
Ruby’s story is one of survival and strength. She came from a home that allowed her to wander and scrounge for food, leading to an "accidental" pregnancy and contracting heartworm disease. But Ruby’s journey has made her all the more appreciative of the comforts of a loving home. She’s now looking for a forever family that will cherish her as she deserves.
Ruby is a wonderful companion who would make a fantastic addition to any family. She’s ready to start a new chapter filled with love, play, and happiness. Could you be the one to give Ruby the forever home she’s been waiting for?
