Ruby $250

Say Bonjour to Ms. Ruby! This lovely lady is an 8-year-old possible heeler mix with a heart of gold. When she isn't outside adventuring on walks, hiking through the woods, or frolicking at the beach, you can find Ruby relaxing in her foster home on her comfy bed chewing on a toy or bone (most likely quietly solving the world's problems) or napping next to her humans. Her patience with their resident dog Dexter is unmatched; he is usually not so fond of new dogs entering his kingdom, but this gal Ruby won over his heart. She has been very calm, fun-loving, and confident from the get-go, so it appears she'd do great in a furever home with or without a dog. She's also good with kids as a bonus. Ruby has gotten along with every single dog and human she's met so far whether on a walk or at the dog park. Her gentle nature is remarkable, and everyone she meets falls in love instantly. Is it because of her big smile? Her wonderfully calm personality? Or maybe the way she innocently looks into your eyes like she's peering into your soul? It's all of that and much more; Ruby is the whole package. She's not quite as young and spry as she once was, so leisurely walks with a lot of sniffing opportunities seem to her liking. But don't let her age fool you- she has a LOT of life left to live and love to give! Weighing in at 78 pounds, Ruby could stand to lose a few (but shhh...don't tell her I said that). She would probably love to have a fenced-in yard to roam around and relax in, in addition to routine walks. Ruby's eyes light up when she wades into Lake Michigan, but hasn't adventured into full on swimming just yet. She has a relaxed yet curious nature, and likes to stick close to her humans and dog friend when they're around, but also seems to be A-OK when left alone. She's had no accidents in the house and does well with her new schedule. Ruby is a quick learner and a seasoned, loyal companion. Could you be her furever family??

Meet and greets are only set up with approved applicants, and we require all members in the household to be present, as well as any current dogs in the home. Meet and greets take place at our adoption center located in Milwaukee. If you are proceeding with adopting a Lucky Mutt, we will require the dog to have a Martingale collar at the time of adoption, to ensure the dogs safety during the transition to a new home.

Submitting an application for a particular dog does not guarantee that you will be the applicant chosen, we receive several applications for each dog. Our adopters are picked based on the needs of the dog, and the home we feel with best fit based on your responses to our application, vet information and landlord requirements. Approved applicants not chosen for the dog you applied for, will be in active status for a period of six months. We encourage you to watch Petfinder, Facebook and our website for upcoming dogs. Should you see a dog that interests you, please send us a Facebook message or an email with your approval number.
