Ruby Maiden

Hi, I'm Ruby, The Sport Utility Dachshund (that's actually an official title and I have mail from VA State Parks to prove it).

At 15 years old, I'm proving that adventure doesn't have an expiration date. I've explored more than 20 Virginia State Parks while working on my Trail Quest pins, and this year I started tackling Paddle Quest too. So far, I've gone kayaking at five Virginia State Parks, and I'm just getting started!

When I'm not out on the trail or paddling in the water, I'm helping my mom remind everyone that every pet deserves the chance to find their own adventure. That's why I'm raising money for Richmond Animal League.

Every dollar you donate helps RAL rescue pets from overcrowded shelters, provide lifesaving medical care, and match dogs and cats with families who will love them as much as mine loves me.

If you'd like to help me earn a spot in the 2027 RALendar while supporting an amazing cause, I'd be so grateful for your vote. And if you can't donate, sharing my page is the next best thing.

Thanks for cheering me on. Now... where are we hiking next?

❤️ Ruby
