Ruby

🐾🌾 Meet Ruby 🌾🐾 💖 A Little Country Girl Looking for Her Forever Family 💖

Ruby is a gorgeous 3-year-old Border Collie with the sweetest heart and a soul full of forgiveness. ❤️ Despite spending much of her life on a tether, Ruby has never lost her love for people or her enthusiasm for life. She is proof that even after a difficult start, a dog can still choose joy. 🌈✨

🚜🌾 Ruby is a true country girl at heart. Her dream life isn't sitting in a suburban backyard with nothing to do. Instead, she dreams of: 🚙 Riding in the ute 🛞 Running alongside the quad bike 🌿 Exploring acreage with her people ☀️ Being involved in everyday family adventures 👣 Following her favourite humans everywhere as their loyal little shadow

Ruby is wonderfully small and compact, making her the perfect size for tagging along wherever life takes you. 🐕💕 🧠⚡ Smart, Busy & Ready to Learn

Like any clever Border Collie, Ruby thrives when her brain and body are kept busy. She absolutely loves: 🎓 Learning new things 🏃‍♀️ Being active 💦 Splashing in water 🌟 Having a job to do ❤️ Spending time with her people

She is a bright little genius who loves being included and truly blossoms when she feels part of the family. When she's had a day full of activity, Ruby settles beautifully and has not been destructive in her pen. 💤😊 🐶 Ruby & Other Dogs

Ruby has successfully passed her dog assessments and can enjoy canine company. 🐾

She can become very excited and occasionally frustrated around other dogs, especially when she can't get to them. With patient handling and gradual introductions, Ruby can make wonderful dog friends. 💕

In fact, she already has a best mate in the shape of a playful male Kelpie. Together they spend hours: 🏃‍♂️💨 Racing around 🐾 Enjoying rambunctious play sessions 💦 Splashing in the pool ☀️ Living their best country dog lives

Ruby may benefit from a friendly, sociable canine companion in her new home. 🐕💕 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Home Requirements

Because Ruby spent so much of her early life isolated on a tether, she developed a habit of air-snapping when frustrated or overstimulated. This behaviour is not directed at people, but rather her way of expressing excitement or frustration when lots is happening around her and she feels left out.

For this reason, Ruby would be best suited to:

✅ A breed-savvy home

✅ Older children

✅ An active family

✅ An acreage or rural lifestyle

✅ People who want their dog involved in daily life ❤️ Ruby's Perfect Match

Ruby isn't looking for perfection. She's looking for belonging.

She deserves a family who sees beyond her rough start and recognises the incredible dog waiting underneath. A family who will take her for ute rides, let her supervise farm chores, take her swimming, teach her new tricks and make her feel included every single day. 🚜🌾☀️

In return, Ruby promises unwavering loyalty, endless enthusiasm, plenty of laughs and a lifetime of devotion. 🥰🐾 🌟 If you're searching for a clever, affectionate country companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Ruby may just be your perfect match. 🌟

💖🐾 Ruby is ready to leave her past behind and start the country adventure she's always dreamed of. Could that adventure be with you? 🐾💖🌈🏡
