Notes from Ozzie and Friends Rescue Inc

Meet Ruby

Female DOB: 4/23/2016 Weight: 60 pounds Breed: Labrador / Terrier Mix Spayed (Fixed) Vaccinated Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready

Ruby is a gentle, loving soul with a calm presence and a heart that still has so much love to give.

At 10 years old, she’s past the chaos of the younger years and has settled into being a steady, loyal companion. She’s not looking for constant activity—she’s looking for connection, comfort, and a place to truly belong.

Personality

Ruby is affectionate, gentle, and easygoing. She enjoys being around people and has a quiet, comforting presence that makes her a wonderful companion.

She’s the kind of dog who will stay close, offer quiet companionship, and bring warmth into your home without needing constant activity.

Breed Info

As a Labrador / Terrier mix, Ruby brings:

The Labrador’s loving, loyal, and people-friendly nature The Terrier’s awareness and gentle engagement

This combination creates a dog who is affectionate, steady, and connected, with a balanced and adaptable temperament.

Ideal Home

Ruby would do best in a calm, stable home where she can relax and be part of the family. She’s a great match for someone looking for a low-key, loving companion.

Owner Responsibilities

Ruby will need moderate daily exercise, such as gentle walks and light activity to keep her comfortable and healthy. She benefits from a consistent routine, a comfortable resting space, and regular companionship.

Senior dogs like Ruby thrive with patience, stability, and attentive care, including monitoring her comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.

Things to Consider

Ruby is a senior dog and may require a slower pace of life. She may need extra support as she ages, including softer bedding, easier access to spaces, and understanding of her comfort level.

Choosing a senior dog means giving a loving companion a peaceful, stable home in her golden years—and in return, you receive unmatched loyalty and gratitude.

The 3-3-3 Rule

3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home

With love and patience, Ruby will settle in beautifully.

Veterinary Care

Ruby is fully vetted and in good health. We recommend ongoing care with your veterinarian for routine wellness exams, senior bloodwork, joint monitoring, dental care, and preventative treatments.

Regular veterinary care will help ensure she stays comfortable, healthy, and happy in her senior years.

Important Note

Ruby is an indoor family dog. She is not to be chained or left outside.
