Ruby

I'm Ruby and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.

AVAILABLE FROM SATURDAY 12TH

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate is a MUST for me as I'm a very shy girl at first and in lots of new situations. A doggie companion will help me build up my confidence and I LOVE playing with dogs.
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I like both male and female dogs
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention

Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small children as they may scare me

My best features:
• LOVE people
• Happy to hang out with other dogs
• Previous owner has said I'm housetrained
• Very playful
• I can sit on command
• Wiggle butt
• I walk well on lead but I am used to walking in a harness so this should be continued.
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Previously lived with a duck, so I may be ok with other fowl

Where I need to improve / Training required
• Unsure in new situations - more socialising is needed. I need a family who'll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time. To be included in as many family activities and outings as possible will help me learn to be a confident girl. I can't go to a home with small children as they may accidentally scare me.
