Ruby is a nervous, sensitive girl whose world was recently turned upside down when she sadly lost her family. Now in foster, she’s learning to adjust to a new way of life, taking small but brave steps every day. Underneath her worry lies a truly sweet, affectionate dog who just needs someone patient and understanding to help her feel safe again.
Ruby can be wary of new people and will often bark at strangers at first. She’s simply trying to protect herself, and once she realises she can trust you, her gentle nature begins to shine through. She’s searching for someone who can look past that initial fear and see the loving, loyal companion she has the potential to become.
One of Ruby’s greatest comforts is the company of other dogs. She loves canine friends and would benefit from living with a confident, calm dog who can help show her the world isn’t so scary. However, she has previously been an only dog, so this isn’t essential if her new home is experienced and understanding. Ruby has previously lived happily with two cats, though she has been known to chase others. Compatibility will depend on your home setup, experience, and the individual cats’ personalities.
This lovely girl would thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can decompress and grow in confidence at her own pace. Because she’s noise-sensitive and nervous of unfamiliar people, she’s best suited to a house rather than a flat or apartment. Ruby is toilet trained, non-destructive and has a gentle, respectful nature in the home.
Ruby isn’t looking for perfection — she’s looking for comfort, patience and someone willing to take her under their wing. With the right support, she will blossom into a devoted, loving companion who will be forever grateful to the person who helps her feel safe again.
If you have a quiet home, a kind heart and the desire to help a sensitive soul rediscover her confidence, Ruby may be the perfect match for you.
