Story
Meet Ruby! This stunning 1.5 year old Cane Corso/Boxer mix has stolen my heart. I am the Director of Behavior at Three Little Pitties. Ruby and I have been working together to help build her up after the unknown and known things that have happened to her prior to coming to us.
This girl is resilient, she is loving, she is playful, she is loyal, and boy is she smart. Ruby has undergone training (and continues training with our behavior team) and thrives under structure and boundaries. She is all about pleasing the person she loves the most. Even though she has learned her manners at times she gets a little too excited and wants to play with you. We think it's the Boxer in her! As you watch her adoption video you will see we are reminding her of her boundaries! With Ruby, FIRM corrections are a must! What can we say? She’s not even 2 yet! She is still young and full of curiosity and energy. It'd be great if you'd help her keep my skills in tip-top shape as they're very important to her. Ruby crate trained and will let you know when she needs to go out—no accidents on her watch!
You can watch her adoption video here: Ruby loves deep!! She is a special soul!
I’m looking for a person who’s as strong-willed as Ruby is and knows a thing or two (okay...maybe 10!) about handling an energetic, sometimes stubborn, power pup like Ruby. Ruby is the perfect training/working dog. Ruby has been trained with an E-collar and it has been a great tool for her. We are looking for a family that is comfortable and knowledgeable in E-Collar training and will continue to use this tool. She does not need it or use it daily. I would be more than happy to answer any questions and provide training tips! The behavior team at Three Little Pitties is here to help Ruby succeed in your home.
Ruby can also self entertain, but this comes with/after the stimulation she receives with us daily. She has learned so many great commands like sit, down, stay, release, heel, come, it’s yours, out, and leave it. She has worked on my impulse control immensely, as mentioned earlier, she aims to please and bond with her person. Ruby notices when her schedule changes. She is the type of girl that says, “Oh, so does that mean we aren’t following this rule anymore?! Cool!” and tries to see if we don’t have to sit before we eat, or have to sit at doors, or heel when we walk etc.
Ruby loves men and women, but she automatically respects men from the moment she meets them. She likes to decide if a woman is assertive enough to provide her the necessary structure or if she is more of a friend. If you put her to work right away, she knows you mean business!
You will see a four year old child in the video. That is my son Kobe. Ruby loves Kobe! She has spent a lot of time with him hanging out with him while he plays and she gnaws on her toys. She has a way of knowing that a child is just a child! She can be around older kids, teens, etc but due to her need to work, play and tough and rough play style we are looking for a home without children. The great thing is that if there are children in your life, nieces and nephews, friends’ kids, etc she knows how to behave around them.
Ruby loves getting her daily exercise and would make the perfect partner for someone who enjoys staying active. We are looking for a home with a backyard. Every day I open the bedroom door and she runs straight down the hall to the back door that leads to the yard and I let her out. She runs, romps and has the time of her life! When she is ready to come in, she gives me a little bark. Ruby wants to be close to me hanging out in the office. If she isn’t ready to come in and I go to call her, she has great recall and comes running. Sometimes she will do a little zoomie circle and then run to me! She will either sit for me to leash her, or she will run straight in the house to the room where she is housed
.
If you are wondering about car rides...let's just say she will be the one with the floppy tongue in the back window! She is a fantastic car companion.
Her favorite way to show affection? Laying her head in your lap or keeping a close watch over you. She loves toys! She loves her stuffies and she knows how to take care of them.
Ruby has been with dogs in pack walks, playgroups, and with my small dog Mateo but we are looking for a single dog home for her. We want a family to be able to focus on building the bond and respect between owner and pet and not worry about integrating animals on top of that. She is not a day care, dog park dog either. Most dogs aren’t and that's okay!
Her story started in Rosharon, where I was chasing after a truck, hoping for a friend. The kind people in the truck gave her some food but couldn’t keep her. Thankfully, a woman who works closely with 3LP saved her without even meeting her first. She was so lonely that she wasn't the happiest pup at first. Ruby has received bad training that shot her morale down as well and we have worked hard to undo all of those things! Ruby is finally ready for a forever family. Sure: it's been a journey figuring out where her piece of the puzzle fits, but we think we are getting close to finding it.
If you’re ready for a loyal, athletic companion who’ll be by your side through all your adventures, Ruby is your girl. She can’t wait to meet you!
I know that the right person is out there for Ruby. She deserves to have all the great things that the right people and the right home environment have to offer. This is the best part of rescue! Stories like this that have that happy ever ending! Let’s make this happen for Ruby!
With Love,
Olga

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation. Three Little Pitties Rescue is on a mission to make a difference. As a nonprofit dog and cat rescue, we work hand in hand with the community to combat this crisis. Our goal is simple: to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing dogs and cats of all breeds from the streets or overcrowded shelters, where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Your interest and support mean the world to us and to the animals we serve. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission to give every animal a chance at a happy and loving home!
Our rescue is dedicated to making a difference. With close to 15,000 successful adoptions so far, we're committed to saving lives. We provide individualized socialization, training, and support based on the dog’s needs to ensure a smooth transition for both pet and owner. Plus, our adopters enjoy exclusive perks, including pet insurance, training sessions, and discounts on pet products.
