A little about them

Ruby is an approximately 10-month-old Belgian Malinois mix with lots of potential. She can be timid in new situations and appears to have had limited socialization, but she is making progress as she learns to trust people and interact appropriately with other dogs. Ruby enjoys playing with toys, which helps her build confidence and bond with her people.

Ruby is a sweet, playful young dog who will thrive with a patient owner willing to provide time, consistency, and gentle guidance. She would do best with respectful older children who understand that she needs space and time to adjust. With the right match, she may also do well with another dog who can help show her the ropes.

Ideal Home

  • A patient home prepared to support Ruby's confidence-building and socialization.
  • Respectful older children who understand her need for space and time to adjust.
  • Another dog may be a good match to help Ruby learn, depending on introductions and compatibility.

Ongoing Health

Ruby is vaccinated and spayed/neutered.
