MORE PICS COMING!

Ruby is 1 yo (DOB 3/20/25) and the sweetest girl! I'm not sure on her exact weight, but she's a smaller girl. Her breed/color is chocolate merle aussie-labradoodle.
She was previously living on a farm and was scared of new people.

She has really decompressed and is quickly learning all about the pampered life!

She would be best in a home with a secure fenced-in yard, lots of patient affection, and an experienced family with doodle-fur. She will require routine grooming with curls like this! She'll be freshly groomed this Saturday, 5/16/26!!

Ruby was surrendered to us for being too interested in cats and chickens. She would thrive in a home without kitties and small animals.

To meet Ruby, please email me at TheLongWayHomeRescue@gmail.com. The volunteers at our Adoption Center look forward to talking with you! Please be patient with response time. We will be email you back as soon as we can, with a Zoom appointment time to meet your family and pets!

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The labradoodle is a popular crossbreed known for its friendly and sociable nature, making it an excellent family pet. This hybrid dog is a mix between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, combining the intelligence of the Poodle with the outgoing personality of the Labrador. Labradoodles come in various sizes, colors, and coat types due to their mixed heritage. They are highly adaptable, easy to train, and known for their hypoallergenic fur, making them a favorite choice for allergy sufferers.
