Hi my name is Ruby I am about 11 yrs old and my best guess is I am a Boston Terrier yorkie mix.
I am looking for a new home, but it’s not my fault. I was abandoned by my owner. I am currently being fostered by a family member and her 4 dogs and cat. I would really like to be someone’s one and only girl but given the right situation and patience I could be a good friend. Other dogs make me very nervous but I am working hard at not being scared and reactive. I still have a really good energy level. I love to play ball more than anything. I also love to play tug tug with a rope. Chewing on bones is my new favorite thing to do. Some would call me needy but I really like to snuggle and be close. I tend to be a little vocal but I really am trying to work on that. Sometimes I get to wear a “special necklace” that vibrates to help remind me not to bark. I really am trying to be the best girl. I do have a few medical issues. I have not been “fixed”. If necessary I can be but given my age the risk didn’t seem urgent. I also have a small heart murmur. It’s not caused any problems but my new vet knows it’s there. I also only have one ear. I lost the other one in an accident. It gives me charm and doesn’t bother me at all unless it gets itchy. I am up to date on all my vaccines now. I love baths now and regular manicures and pedicures. I tolerate at home haircuts to help tame my fly aways but they are not my favorite thing.
I am house broken and working on ringing the bell my house has now to let them know I have to potty. I am a very good eater. I was free fed before but now eat 2x a day and it’s my favorite thing to do. I also love treats and will do anything to get one. I never had a crate before but I love having my own space. I am in there at night time and when everyone goes to work. I don’t mind it at all. I even go in there to chew my bones with the door open. I have little legs but i love to go on walks. I also am really good at staying close when off leash and will come back when called. I would love to spend the rest of my life in a loving adult home. I am a sweet girl who just needs love.
