Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Richmond, Kentucky

Meet the incredibly gorgeous Ruby 😍

Ruby is an adorably sweet girl, estimated to be 3 years old and is a spayed female American Pit/Staff mix (Wisdom panel already performed). She is updated on everything and microchipped.

She is house and crate trained. Overall, what this girl wants is to be with her human and dog pack. She loves to play in the yard with toys and dog friends. She is submissive to big dogs, but is assertive with dogs her size and smaller.

No cats or small animals for this girl!

She loves tug o war with a big rope, and to fetch her Kong toys. She has a competitive spirit and is learning not to nip her humans playing with her.

It is recommended that she be in a home with children 6+ or no small children as she has a rough play style and doesn't yet understand her own strength. She tends to play rough with her furry friends, but not in an aggressive way with humans or fellow fur friends.

Ruby is working on leash manners, as she tends to pull and will lunge at wildlife and other small animals (squirrels, cats, etc). She is medium energy and thrives with a routine of walking, playing inside/outside, and napping.

Ruby loves to snuggle on the couch with her pack for meals and also join them in bed (but she is crate trained). She can self-occupy entertain herself with Benebones (her favorite) and other tough-chewer toys.

In her foster home, she has only had one destructive incident (she was unsupervised for a moment), so she is trusted anywhere in the house.
