Mona (Ruby) - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Athens, Georgia

Why choose me?

Ruby and Rocket (formerly known at the shelter as Mona and Maury) are beautiful dogs. They were adopted as puppies but are back looking for new homes. They're shy at first, so it took time before they were ready to come to me or be petted, but once I gained their trust, they were sweet friends. They liked doing everything together whether running around the interaction pen or lounging in the shade. When they were ready for pets, they did that together, too. Ruby and Rocket's former owner said both are house trained and crate trained. They're scared of other dogs, so being at the shelter is unsettling for them right now. Hopefully, they'll feel more comfortable soon, but it'd be even better if they find a new family or families to love. Once Ruby and Rocket feel safe, they show what sweet dogs they really are.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
