Meet Ruby, a beautiful 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix (based on shelter guess) weighing around 40 pounds. Ruby was adopted from a local shelter eight months ago and is now looking for a new forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and supported.
She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.
Personality & Temperament:
- Sweet-natured & affectionate: Ruby is a loving cuddle bug who enjoys being close to her people. Whether it’s sitting in your lap, at your feet, or napping nearby, she thrives on companionship.
- Low energy: Despite her active breed mix, Ruby doesn’t require much physical activity. She enjoys daily walks, but is mostly content to relax around the house.
- Good with others: Ruby gets along well with both dogs and cats, and she has a gentle temperament that makes her a great match for calm, respectful children.
- Quick learner: She knows basic commands, is leash-trained, and is potty-trained—although she sometimes likes to stop and sniff a bit too long on walks!
Special Medical Needs:
Ruby has a seizure condition, which was discovered after her adoption. She now takes daily medication, which has helped manage her symptoms. This is likely a lifelong condition, so her ideal adopter would be someone who:
- Can be home frequently or has a flexible schedule
- Has experience with seizure dogs (helpful, but not required)
- Can provide reliable structure and love while supporting her ongoing care
Why She’s Being Rehomed:
Ruby’s current owner loves her deeply but lives alone and frequently travels for work, making it difficult to provide the consistency Ruby needs. With no family or close friends available to help with care, the decision to rehome her is being made with Ruby’s best interests at heart.
Ruby Is Ready to Find Her Person 🐾
This incredibly sweet and snuggly girl deserves a home where she’ll be cherished for the loyal, gentle, and loving companion she is. If you think Ruby could be the right match for your home, please reach out and apply today!
