Hello, I'm Ruby. I'm a female, Labrador/ Pit Bull Mix, approximately 2 years old, 55 pounds, and available for adoption. I am full of fun energy and enjoy lots of attention. I am shy at first and cautious about having that leash put on to go outside by the staff here at Licking County Dog Shelter. Please call 740-349-6563 to schedule some time with me, Ruby.
