Ruby, Belgian shepherd
Ruby is a female Belgian shepherd dog in the care of Puppy Pleasers Rescue.
Ruby plays well with others — she loves other dogs. Good news: She is already house-trained. Ruby's vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed.
From Ruby's current caretaker:
Ruby is about three to five years old. She is friendly and calm. Her pups have been adopted, and now it's time to find her a loving home. Ruby suffers from some anxiety, so we want to place her in a home where she won't be left alone for long periods of time.
