Rua (also called Ruby or Roo) is a beautiful young dog who’s had a rough start in life—she spent her early years having puppies and now it’s finally her turn to be loved. While she’s timid with strangers, Rua blossoms into a confident, affectionate companion when she feels safe with her person. She’s housetrained, walks well on leash, and knows her crate (though she’d rather not be in it). Rua struggles with separation anxiety and needs a patient, understanding home to help her truly thrive.

🐾 Bonds deeply and loyally with her trusted person
🐶 Loves to play with toys and other dogs
🏡 Housetrained, leash trained, and crate trained
🦴 Smart and eager to please once comfortable

What She’s Looking For

✔️ Another confident dog in the home to help her feel secure
✔️ A securely fenced yard (minimum 4 ft)
