My story

AGE: 2 monthsSEX: FemaleBREED: Northern MixENERGY LEVEL: MediumDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!FOSTER IG: @rubyandoroMeet Ruby! Ruby is the sweetest, happiest little girl with a personality that is impossible not to love. She is playful but wonderfully calm, and while her body may be relatively lazy, her mind is always busy! Ruby loves having something to chew, crinkle, or squeak and is perfectly capable of entertaining herself by fetching her own toys. She also loves soft blankets, laps, and curling up beside her people - often settling down wherever you are and keeping one paw touching you just to make sure you're still there. She is incredibly friendly and affectionate, and absolutely adores her 12-year-old human sibling.Ruby is a little explorer who loves getting out and about. She enjoys her walks, sniffing around the yard, and especially her trips to Home Depot, which seems to be her favourite store for some reason! She's comfortable around busy neighbourhood sounds like buses, garbage trucks, and motorcycles, and she has been friendly and happy meeting new people and welcoming guests into the home. She is also wonderful with cats. She was calm and respectful when meeting her resident Sphynx cats, even when one was less than thrilled about her arrival, and she enjoys gently sniffing and licking them without regularly chasing. Given her young age and adaptable nature, Ruby could likely do well in a home with cats, dogs, or children. She has also been calm and neutral when meeting other dogs.Ruby is working on her house training and knows that sitting for treats is the way to go - she does it automatically! She's also learning paw and fetch and is very food motivated. She's doing wonderfully with her crate, with her initial crying now lasting less than a minute, and she has already shown that she can happily spend a few hours home alone playing, eating, and napping. She follows her people around but is also perfectly capable of settling herself when they leave the room. Ruby is an absolute angel who is open to new people, new places, and new experiences, and she seems determined to make everyone around her as happy as she is. Plus, with her love of pumpkin, she clearly believes anything orange is worth celebrating.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Ruby?
