Ruby

A gentle dog who likes discovering the world at her own pace.

Ruby is reserved. Please contact us for the current situation.

This is my story

Ruby prefers to take a quiet look at new situations first. She was found with her littermates and other dogs by a motorway. She is now staying with us in the Netherlands and gradually showing more of herself.

She is kind and gentle, friendly towards other dogs and can get along with children. At the same time she is still timid and unsure. New experiences can feel daunting, and she needs time to build confidence.

Ruby is still a puppy with plenty to learn. We expect her to become medium-sized. We are not rushing her adoption: she will have time to find a home that really suits her.

A home that suits me

A calm, stable home with patience, clear routines and a predictable environment. We are looking for people who can help her feel safe and take small steps together. Calm children aged 12 or older may suit her. A garden or yard is needed.

Always discuss needs and placement conditions with us. We would love to explore a suitable match together.

How does adoption work?

We get to know you and your household and take time to introduce you to the dog. We stay involved after adoption too.
