About Ruby
Introducing RUBY, one of five absolutely adorable Kelpie puppies from the Manni Litter. They were born on 9 April 2022.
Ruby is one of the larger puppies and appears to be the boss of the litter. Her coat is chocolate with tiny bits of white on her back feet and a white flash on her chest.
Kelpies can make great family pets, loyal companions and excellent watchdogs. They have an exceptionally high IQ and may get into mischief if left to their own devices. They require plenty of exercise, and will become bored if stuck in a backyard for lenthy periods without stimulation or company.
The secret to bringing the best out in a kelpie is to keep her occupied and well loved.
A kelpie's greatest joy is the love and attention of an active owner or family, while her greatest disappointment is inactivity and lack of attention.
Kelpies are eager to please and extremely loyal. Wherever their humans are, that's where they want to be too - whether that's out in a boat, in the back of a car, going for a walk, training for agility competitions or herding, or just watching television in the evening.
To be happy and content, Ruby will need plenty of vigorous daily exercise and play. As always, secure fencing is a must.
Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and/or there is another compatible dog for Ruby to play with. Previous breed experience will be highly regarded. Ruby is not available to full-time workers.
If you are interested in meeting this lovely pup and can offer her a suitable, safe and loving forever home, PLEASE COMPLETE THE ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION at https://southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.
Ruby's adoption fee is $1,100. She has had one vaccination and is microchipped. She is also flea and worm treated. Her adoption fee includes desexing when age appropriate.
She will be available for rehoming from 4 June 2022.
