Ruby

Please meet RUBY 
She’s been waiting for her people for awhile.

 

Ruby (a healthy and active 8 year-old boxer lab cross) has found herself in a bit of a pickle. You see, Ruby is a single-girl-no-tiny-kids type of dog. Her previous family was not a single-girl-no-kids type of family, and without realizing how difficult it would be, they went ahead and grew into a bustling household that drives Ruby crazy. She is more cut out for a calm home, and her type of fun is cuddling with adult humans, some long walks, and just having a sweet, quiet little life.

She doesn’t dislike the kids per se, but they just really aren’t her vibe. Their spontaneous fast moves make her hyper-vigilant, on a little on edge.

To manage this, the family has been having to separate Ruby from her family to let her settle, but now she is miserable because all she wants to do is to hang out with everyone.

It’s heartbreaking.

Ruby just wants her life back.

So, we are looking for Ruby’s people.

Ruby is a great age (8! but more of a 8 is the new 5 kind of 8.) She is has energy and can’t wait for her new era.

Ruby is a little aloof and shy at first in that mysterious cool girl way.

She warms up quickly.

She has had good experiences meeting cats, and could be happy in a home with a cat.

She is sensitive to dogs yelling at her and will yell back, but has show much joy and tail wagging with meeting chill, friendly dogs. She’s been really into a pack walk. She seems happy around many dogs. I guess that makes her dog selective.

WHAT RUBY IS NOT:

A dog park girl, or a daycare girl. She is not a little kid-girl.

WHAT RUBY IS:

A grown up middle-aged woman who knows what she wants and would like you to provide it. She has some allergy sensitivities to poultry in her diet (that may require medication and a particular food)

She likes it when dogs give her some distance but also is a big fan of a pack walk. She walks happily and waggily alongside her pals, but she may do better as a solo dog in the home.

She has eyes that look into your soul.

Ruby is loyal, beautiful, grateful beyond measure when her life matches her vibe, smart (this girl is a literal genius and knows many commands), and eager to please. She has a gazillion dollar smile.

HER DREAM LIFE

A person or people who can show her a calm, stable, fun life. She’d like a couch if you don’t mind, but would be happy with a dog bed. She’d like to go on daily walks and would like to fetch a ball in a fenced yard if you would kindly oblige. She just wants to be by her people’s side.

If you also like a calm little life, with a really cute, really sweet, and ultra beautiful sidekick, please reach out. Ruby is waiting for you.
