Ruby - Shepherd and Hound Dog for Adoption in Harrisonburg, Virginia

Meet Ruby! This sweet girl LOVES love and loves to give and receive attention. She has enough energy to go on adventures and play with her toys, but always welcomes a lazy day or night where she can curl up with her people after. She has been an outside dog her whole life, so she's looking for a family that can be patient with her and help show her the luxuries that come with living inside. She has done well around cats, but she has not interacted with other dogs, so a meet and greet with a potential puppy friend is recommended. If you're interested in meeting with Ruby, stop by the shelter today!
