ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Ruby arrived to HT from a rural shelter as a pregnant stray. She delivered 8 healthy puppies.

Ruby is easy-going and happy go lucky. She gets along with other dogs and everyone she meets, including kids, and loves to play. She is house trained for the most part. She is great on a leash and enjoys her daily walks. Very calm and not a barker.
