Meet Ruby Rose (Ruby Roo) Ruby Rose, lovingly known as Ruby Roo, is as sweet as they come. She was at risk of losing her life in an overcrowded shelter in Alabama, but she was given a second chance when she was taken into rescue with a promise: that her next chapter would be safe, loved, and full of care. Ruby has shown nothing but gentleness and heart. She is affectionate, eager to please, and has a calm, loving presence that makes everyone around her feel at ease. She doesn’t ask for much, just kindness, stability, and someone to love her back as much as she loves them. Ruby Roo has already overcome uncertainty, and now she’s ready for something she has never truly had: a forever family of her own. Please consider adopting Ruby Rose and giving her the life she has been waiting for all along. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!

Mixed Breed

🧠 Temperament

She is affectionate, eager to please, and has a calm, loving presence that makes everyone around her feel at ease. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.

🎾 Exercise

Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.

✂️ Grooming

Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.

Adoption fee $300
