Hailing from the Asheville, NC area, Ruby was born in the summer of 2024 and spent her early puppy days in a western North Carolina animal shelter.

Ruby was officially adopted by the Rockers in fall 2024, signing her life-long deal as Ruby the Rocker Dog in October 2024.
Fans can catch Ruby making VIP (Very Important Pup) appearances at Rockers games this season or drop by the front office for a meet-and-greet. Rumor has it, she’s paw-sitively ecstatic about belly rubs and will gladly accept treats as payment for her time.
