Ruby Ruby Ruby Rubaaay!!! (wooaaahh!)

Introducing the ridiculously lovely Ruby!

Greyhounds are often very misunderstood by those who haven’t had the pleasure of knowing them, but at AAPS we know that Greys make absolutely fabulous pets and suit so many different households and lifestyles.

Ruby is a very sweet girl who isn’t asking for much – she simply wants a cosy couch to curl up on with her humans, a leisurely stroll or two each day, and a family who will show her unconditional love.

She has had a bit of a rough start and is searching for a kind family with a warm and welcoming home to give her a soft place to land. She can come across as a tiny bit shy at first, after only a few days at AAPS she is already showing off her beautiful personality to our staff.

Ruby doesn’t mind other dogs, but she would be best suited to a home where she was the only dog or with an existing dog who was quite laid back as she enjoys her own space and independence. She will form a very strong bond with her future human/s and would love a home with a family who had plenty of quality time to spend with her.

Ruby has never been trained as a racing greyhound, and as such does not have an innately high prey drive. We have tested her with cats in the shelter and she was very calm around them, so with a slow introduction we think she would be happy to live with calm, laid-back cats.

She would be best suited to a home with older kids (10+) who are savvy with doggies, as she will need a gentle introduction to her new home. Greyhounds have lots of adorable quirks (tiny bursts of zoomies, a hint of stubbornness and goofy nature!) but are fantastic pets for first time dog owners, so if you have done some research and think a greyhound is the right doggy for you, please apply below to meet the lovely Ruby!
