Ruby will join other animals and animal lovers at the walk at Huizenga Plaza.
Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the 1.25 mile walk through Fort Lauderdale starts at 10 a.m.
The event will also feature a bounce house and face painting for children, and dogs can receive the star treatment with red carpet photos, courtesy of Little's Photography, and a dip in the doggie pools.
There will also be free pancakes provided by IHOP, live entertainment and sponsor booths that will offer items and information from VCA Animal Hospitals, Purina, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, Coconut Creek Subaru, among others.
