Notes from DeKalb Humane Society, Inc.

💎 Meet Ruby: CEO of Taking Things Slowly 💎

Ruby is not the kind of girl who falls in love on the first date. She prefers a background check, three references, and a respectful amount of personal space.

But once Ruby decides you’re her person? Congratulations—you have been promoted to Most Important Human in the World. ❤️

Ruby is a sensitive girl who can feel overwhelmed by busy environments. She is scared around small children and is looking for a calm, patient home where she can be the only pet. Think peaceful evenings, predictable routines, and a household that understands trust is earned—not rushed.

She may need a little extra time to settle in, but when Ruby feels safe, she is sweet, devoted, and truly an angel.

Ruby isn’t looking for a perfect person. She’s looking for someone patient, consistent, and willing to let her bloom at her own pace.

The best things in life take time—and Ruby is absolutely worth it. 🐾

Think you might be Ruby’s person? Apply through DeKalb Humane Society.
