Ruby - Located in Eugene, OR Now - Pit Bull Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Los Angeles, California

Meet Ruby — a 3-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix (female, 60 lbs) who wakes up ready to work, play, and love hard.


Ruby is exuberant, athletic, and sharp. She’s agile, eager, and genuinely fun to train. She works hard for food, lights up for affection, and wears her whole heart on her face — emotionally expressive, loyal, and usually sporting that big Lab grin. Medium-to-high energy, she can settle at home, but she truly thrives with a job: running, biking, structured training, or a big fenced yard to burn it off.



She’s dog-social, though a bit much — not perfect with every dog. With the right intro to the right playmate, she can be a great buddy. She has prey drive, so she’s not a cat home. Her intensity also means she’s probably not the best fit for kids. With strangers coming into her space she’s a little nervous and fearful at first, then she warms up fast and wants to be friends.



She already has a serious training foundation: nice leash walking, sit, down, place, crate trained, happy in the car, and clear marker-based communication. She can crate while you work with no drama. For the right active person she could even do apartment life — but she really needs a fenced yard and someone experienced with high-drive dogs who will keep training and exercise consistent.



If you want a partner who lives for kisses, loves to learn, and beams with life, Ruby is looking for her person.
