Age: 1.5 years Breed: Purebred Great Dane Status: Available for Adoption, single and ready to mingle! Location: United Doberman Rescue & Canine Castaways of Minnesota www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
Ruby is a stunning 1.5-year-old Great Dane with long legs and a heart as big as her paws. This sweet and affectionate girl is the total package—elegant, playful, and incredibly well-mannered. Currently in foster care with two other Great Danes (yes, the couch is officially full in her awesome foster home!), Ruby has proven to be a joyful and easy-going companion.
She is:
✅ Fully vetted – spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped
✅ House-trained and crate-trained
✅ Well-behaved indoors – the best roommate you could ever ask for!
Ruby loves car rides, adores the company of other dogs, and is wonderful with cats. She’s respectful of fences and thrives in a calm, loving environment. Her favorite activities include attending doggy daycare, going for walks (she’s a huge fan!), playing dress-up, and curling up on the couch for a good movie and cuddle session.
She’s also proudly the reigning queen of the “stare down”—a game she plays with her canine companions in the foster home. It’s all in good fun, of course, and part of her gentle but playful personality.
And just a heads-up—Ruby snores. When she’s in a deep sleep, she’ll open her mouth wide and let out the most endearing, full-on Great Dane snorkles you’ve ever heard. It’s equal parts hilarious and heart-melting!
Whether she's out exploring the world or snuggling at home, Ruby brings joy, character, and charm wherever she goes. She's looking for a forever home with room in the heart—and maybe on the couch—for a gentle giant like her.
