Ruby Doo - Boxer and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Fair Play, Missouri

Ruby Doo is a Boxer/Heeler mix with a soft spirit and a whole lot of potential. She came to us a little unsure of the world, but every day she opens up more — showing us the goofy, loving pup she's becoming. Her Boxer side gives her that expressive face and tender heart, while her Heeler side brings the smarts and loyalty that make her such a rewarding companion. She is great even off leash and loyal to a tee.

This dog is scheduled to be at our Adoption Event at the PetSmart in Rolla, MO on Saturday, July 25 from 10a - 2p. If you'd like to meet her there, please complete our adoption application at polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt and note that you'd like to meet this pet in Rolla. We will follow up to confirm a specific meeting time.

We also offer virtual visits prior to scheduling an in-person appointment.
