Ruby

Meet Ruby, the official visitation therapy dog of the WVU Office of Student Success. Ruby is a Great Pyranese, lab and poodle mix, which her owner calls a “Pyradoodledor” along with her siblings Titan and Heidi, Ruby recently turned 4 years old on Jan. 21. Ruby is also the mother of 12 puppies, several of which are currently in training.

“She loves carrots, watching tv, and snuggle time. She sometimes gets in the mood to play, but she usually prefers to cuddle. Students are welcome to come visit her when she is on campus,” said Ruby’s handler Michelle Paden of the Office of Student Success.

Ruby can be found on the third floor of the Student Services Center on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“Ruby came to me in August, and she passed her test in October to become the visitation therapy dog for Student Success and my forever dog,” Paden said.
