About this Dog
Meet Ruby! ✨ Ruby is a joyful, affectionate, and energetic 2-year-old Pitty-mix looking for a forever home! After a rough start—bouncing between homes and even spending time in boarding—she finally found stability and love through Tara’s House and her dedicated foster family. Now, Ruby is thriving! She adores her foster parents, belly rubs, and daily walks. Her favorites? Chew toys (yum!), classical music, and snuggling up after a fun-filled day. Training Superstar!Ruby’s exuberance for life initially displayed itself in mouthy and jumpy behaviour, but she has worked hard on her manners thanks to expert training at Ridgeside K9 Central MD. She has mastered: ✅ Crate training (sleeps quietly through the night!) ✅ Leash walking & impulse control ✅ Basic obedience & recall While she was once very interested in small critters (cats, rabbits… even birds overhead!), her newfound impulse control makes walks and adventures a breeze. Whether it’s a casual stroll or a challenging hike, Ruby is ready to be your adventure buddy! If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving pup who’s eager to bond and bring joy into your life, Ruby could be your perfect match. Apply today and give her the loving home she deserves! Interested? Contact Tara’s House to meet Ruby! Ruby’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Ruby by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.

Adopt Ruby and Receive Ruby's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ruby's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ruby's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ruby, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ruby's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ruby was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ruby’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ruby’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ruby’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
