Ruby Rose

Hi! I’m Ruby Rose and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Ruby Rose
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/Y5FaoxyucWQBRY5h9

NOTE: You are unable to meet Ruby until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Ruby in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

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
• 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
• Short regular walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• No young children as when I'm excited I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• I am a clever, young and active doggo - I would be great for dog training, trick training, agility etc.
• Doggy daycare and group socialisation classes would be highly beneficial for me.
• I have never interacted with another dog before coming into the shelter so I can be unsure of how to behave around and with them! I will require a lot of positive socialisation with other dogs so that my behaviour improves and not deteriorates towards them.
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE people, so I'm just as happy being an only dog getting all of your love and attention for myself
• I appeared scared of cats when meeting them at the shelter however once my confidence around them grows I might be more inquisitive. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy and we must be introduced slowly.
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence

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 due to being mouthy & bouncy
• Small animals as I may find them fun to chase, including birds.

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• I can sit, shake hands & stay
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I know my basic doggie commands
• Social butterfly
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
• I LOVE toys, playing fetch and a game of tug-o-war
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans
• I love toys especially my ball, playing fetch and tug rope

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I can be a bit bouncy - training should stop this
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard and will try and escape to be with you or other people, I also appear to be quiet vocal at times when left alone - a family who has a lot of time for me, allows me indoors and leave me with lots of mental enrichment when home alone is recommended. I also require a super secure yard to prevent me from trying to break out.
• As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained yet
• I am social with other friendly dogs however I will react if they are too full on or reactive to me, further socialisation is recommended.
• I have never been allowed inside before however I am hoping that my new family will allow me inside to make me feel included & part of the family.
• I was surrendered as I was digging my out of my backyard, so I really need a very secure yard that doesn't give me the opportunity to escape and go on an adventure by myself.
