About Ruby
I was surrendered to Lort Smith with another canine however we don't really enjoy each other's company. In fact, he makes me quite anxious. For this reason, it was decided to rehome us separately. The staff gave this decision lots of thought and consideration but ultimately decided it was best for both of us.
I would love an active but quieter home, with someone that has experience with the boxer breed. Ideally I'd love to go to a home where someone is home more often than not as I love people!
I am extremely affectionate and love cuddles. I just want to be by my person's side.
I cannot be rehomed with any other animals. Due to my lack of exposure as a puppy and adult dog, I will require careful socialisation around other animals. It would be wonderful if my new family could take me to one-on-one dog training to help me with my socialisation around other dogs.
If you have room for a cuddle bug like me on your couch, please contact the Lort Smith Adoption Hub.
Medical notes
When I arrived at Lort Smith I had a few lumps and bumps. The lovely vets have since removed them and most were harmless but there was one that came back as malignant. The good news is that this nasty lump was completely removed, but my new adopters will need to keep an eye on any new lumps that may appear.
Like any ageing lass, my body does have some arthritis which is currently under medical management in the form of daily supplements and injections every few months.
The lovely folks at Lort Smith also noticed that I was leaking small amounts of urine. The vet has prescribed me with low cost medication for this issue, which I will require for life - and this has eliminated the issue. However, the staff would like me to be a foster to adopt for the first fortnight to monitor the effectiveness of this medication. I will then be adopted out with a medical disclaimer.
