My story

The wiggly land seal!Meet Ruby! &#226&#156&#168 Ruby is a joyful, affectionate, and energetic 2-year-old Pitty-mix looking for a forever home! After a rough start—bouncing between homes and even spending time in boarding—she finally found stability and love through Tara’s House and her dedicated foster family. Now, Ruby is thriving! She adores her foster parents, belly rubs, and daily walks. Her favorites? Chew toys (yum!), classical music, and snuggling up after a fun-filled day. Training Superstar!Ruby’s exuberance for life initially displayed itself in mouthy and jumpy behaviour, but she has worked hard on her manners thanks to expert training at Ridgeside K9 Central MD. She has mastered: &#226&#156&#133 Crate training (sleeps quietly through the night!) &#226&#156&#133 Leash walking & impulse control &#226&#156&#133 Basic obedience & recall While she was once very interested in small critters (cats, rabbits… even birds overhead!), her newfound impulse control makes walks and adventures a breeze. Whether it’s a casual stroll or a challenging hike, Ruby is ready to be your adventure buddy! If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving pup who’s eager to bond and bring joy into your life, Ruby could be your perfect match. Apply today and give her the loving home she deserves! Interested? Contact Tara’s House to meet Ruby! Ruby’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Ruby by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.March 11, 2025, 8:41 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ruby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
