Ruby

This beautiful, red girl is ruby, she has been rescued once before by her current owners, but after a change in circumstances they can no longer keep her. When they first met ruby she was extremely underweight, her ears were in terrible condition due to fly strike and she was very timid, and they believe she may have been not only neglected but also mistreated. Ruby really is a sweet girl though, she is timid around more boisterous people, especially children, however she has been living with small children, including one who is three years old and she is very comfortable with this age group. She is also fine with adults and is a little wary of strangers at first but she will always approach them in her timid way for a pat, once she is comfortable in knowing they will not hurt her she soon warms to them. Ruby is good on the lead and walks with a halti, she has been around other dogs whilst on the lead and she is curious when they bark at her, but she has not shown any fear or aggression towards them and does not bark back. She is quite interested in the neighbours cat and will bark if it comes near her yard, so it may be best if she goes to a cat free home. Ruby will need some extra tlc to ensure she settles in well to her new home. She will need a firm but gentle approach to her further obedience training, however she will definitely thrive with positive reinforcement. Ruby really just needs to be given the opportunity to gain some confidence and get out there and explore the world, she will need to be socialised with people and other dogs in safe and happy environments. In the right home this girl will blossom, she has had a rough start to her life, so if you have a loving home where this girl can finally call her own, please contact terri
