Meet our newest BARC friend, Ruby!! She’s just looking for love and a forever home. The Killuminati Foundation helps sponsor and find both foster and forever home for area dogs. Want to be a part of BARC or the Killuminati Foundation? Go here
Ruby was found running loose on S. Campbell dodging traffic. A nice family saved her and now she is looking for her forever family to love her! Ruby is a year and a half old – she is a Staffordshire Terrier/Shepherd mix. Ruby is good with other dogs and loves to play. She is housebroken, can sit, lay down, stay, and walks well on a leash. Ruby’s adoption donation is $150 (tax deductible) which includes her spay and up to date on shots (rabies, boosters, etc). She is on Advantage Multi for flea, tick, and heartworm preventative.
