Meet Ruby!

Ruby is a 4-month-old, 20-pound Labradoodle mix with a heart as big as her puppy paws! This sweet girl and her five siblings found themselves in a not-so-good shelter in South Texas, and we knew we had to step in and save them. Thankfully, all six puppies are now safe and ready to find families of their own!

Ruby is a very social, happy, and loving puppy who absolutely adores people. After not getting nearly enough attention in her short life, she is definitely making up for lost time! She loves being around her people and soaks up every bit of affection she can get. She also does wonderfully with other dogs and would love having a canine buddy to grow up with.

Like her siblings, Ruby is pretty much a blank slate when it comes to training. She hasn’t had much direction or the opportunity to learn what’s expected of her, so her new family will need to be patient and willing to teach her the basics. The good news is that Ruby is a smart girl, and with consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, we think she is going to be an amazing companion!

Ruby would thrive with an active, caring family who is ready for all the fun, puppy antics that come with raising a young dog. She needs a family who will give her guidance, continue her training, keep her mind and body busy, and most importantly, show her what it means to be loved.

This sweet girl has already overcome a rough start, and now she’s ready for the best chapter of her life—a forever home where she can grow, learn, play, and be spoiled just as every puppy should be. ❤ï ̧

Please understand you are committing to providing a good home for her entire life (up to 15+ years or more) - not just until her puppy cuteness wears off.

You must be committed to housebreaking, age-appropriate enrichment and exercise, leash training, grooming needs, and positive socialization. Like most puppies, she may chew on anything within her reach to include but not limited to baseboards, shoes, socks, children's toys, electrical cords, plants, etc.

Her adoption fee is $200. This includes her spay surgery, rabies vaccination, Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPP vaccinations, Bravecto®, Drontal® Plus, Tri-Heart® Plus Chewable Tablet, 24PetWatch® microchip, and leash and collar.

Please be aware that puppies and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so interested parties are encouraged to apply online at www.saspca.org.

Please ensure your application is complete before submitting. We do verify property ownership, landlord references, apartment/HOA restrictions, veterinary references.

Our adoption events are held each Saturday at Petco located in the Northwoods Shopping Center at 18138 San Pedro Ave, San Antonio TX 78232. Event hours are 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Additional questions may be directed to sagdinfo@gmail.com.
