About Ruby
Time has come for Ruby our very active and highly focussed Kelpie to find a suitable home.
Ruby is not suitable for a Metropolitan Melbourne Lifestyle or a Small rural back yard lifestyle. This girl needs mental and physical stimulation and has shown natural ability and instinct with sheep when tested this weekend. She loves to be with people - a side kick so would suit a hobby farmer that is looking for a companion and someone to train up to round up a few head of sheep.
Ruby is not suitable to be rehoused with cats or pocket pets but is fine with other dogs. Ruby is extremely focussed so if she is not going to be safe with her person then she will need to be in a secure yard or pen so that she does not go and find her own adventures.
Ruby would make a sensational sports dog too if someone is keen to take her on and work out her cryptonite. She is not overly food or treat motivated. She loves praise and pats.
Ruby loves to cuddle up on the couch also in the evenings so human connection is important to her. Probably as important to her as her desire to round things up.
Ruby is desexed, vaccinated, flea and worm treated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $800. We just need to find this girl the right home as there is a risk she will become destructive if not adequately stimulated.
To register interest in giving Ruby a home please email us at Phoenixarh@outlook.com and provide us details of why you think you may be a suitable home for this sweet natured, highly focussed and active girl.

Adoption details
We like to take the personal approach where a person sends an email of interest around an animal and then we will follow up with phone discussions and email exploration through a survey.
Please note we are a small group of volunteers that balances the administrative side with the care of the animals.
Please only apply for one of our animals if you are genuinely interested in them.
We expect the prospective owner to travel to meet the animal and we are open to trial periods to ensure we have the match right.
