About this Dog
Ruby is a sweet girl who loves getting affection from her people and giving it in return! She also enjoys playing fetch or goofing around with her feline roommates and has plenty of energy to burn on a long walk or a jog, especially for being over a decade old! Ruby does not live with any other dogs, but she always gets stellar dog-sitting report cards when she spends a few days with the other dogs in their home. That said, her off-leash dog park visits have been a mixed bag. When it comes to chasing and rough housing, she loves to dish it out but can get a bit snippy when it’s reciprocated. Ruby’s food motivation is unmatched, which makes training a piece of cake but can be a challenge when access to human food isn’t tightly controlled. Her foster family likes to call it “opportunistic sharking.” Ruby is selective with unfamiliar humans and can be reactive in new situations, though she typically warms quickly to anyone with a kind voice, a calm body, and a handful of treats. She saw marked improvement through training in the past, and continuing this work will be important for her. She also found life with young kids a bit too chaotic and unpredictable, so she’s looking for a child-free home where she can feel safe and secure. Ruby would absolutely love a fenced yard in her new home. Standing watch (and running fast!) to keep it clear of small animals is one of her favorite pastimes. So if you’re looking for a loving, loyal pup to share your low-stress home (and you’re sick of losing your lilies to nibbling bunnies), Ruby might just be the dog for you!

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!
