Hi, I'm Ruby! Here's what my foster mother says about me:

'Ruby is a sweet little girl, since being her foster mum I see a strength and enthusiasm in her wanting to be a part in everything and anything that is happening around her. Although she has a malformed front right leg, due to a congenital defect, it does not hold her back! She loves her daily walks with her two foster brothers, she is as quick as a little whippet and not intimidated by anything. She loves cuddling close to us all, has adapted very well and is no problem. She is potty trained and not at all fussy with food..loves anything.

She will be a perfect little companion and I know she would love to have another little playmate (dog) to hang out with.'

Ruby will do best in an all-adult home as she is not used to children, preferably a home with another dog. Ruby has not done well with cats.

My adoption fee, including MN state taxes, is $429.10. I'm available to adopt within a 50 mile radius of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

If you'd like to meet me, please attend NorthStar's Nice To Meet Tzu adoption events, held the second Sunday of each month from 12-2pm at the Edina Chuck & Don's (I'm sorry, I'm not available for private meet and greets, please check the Events calendar the day before to see if I'm attending.)
