Ruby Woo is a gentle, sensitive girl who is learning that the world can be a kind and safe place. She can be very shy when meeting new people and experiencing new environments, but every day she grows a little braver. With patience, understanding, and a few tasty treats, Ruby's sweet personality begins to shine. Once she trusts you, she forms wonderful connections. Volunteers who have taken the time to earn her confidence are now greeted with excited barks asking them to stop by and say hello. She especially enjoys gentle, consent-based petting under her chin and along the side of her face, soaking up affection once she knows she's safe. Away from the hustle and bustle of the kennels, Ruby relaxes and enjoys exploring the trails. She's curious about the world around her, taking in new sights and smells while staying close to her trusted person. Even spotting a deer only earned a little extra interest before she settled back into her walk. Ruby is looking for someone willing to let her move at her own pace. Her confidence continues to blossom with every positive experience, and we know that in the right home she'll grow into an incredibly loyal and loving companion. Watching her learn to trust has been one of the greatest joys for our staff and volunteers, and we can't wait for her forever family to experience that same magic.
Ideal Home
Ruby would likely do best with calm, patient, dog-savvy children who understand that she needs gentle introductions and time to build trust.
Ongoing Health
All of Ruby's necessary vet care has been completed, including spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), and diagnostic testing. She also comes with a 1-month supply of flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
Training & Support
Ruby is still learning commands and her routine in a new environment. Positive reinforcement and treats help build her confidence. She struggles with new people, loud noises, and unfamiliar situations, but does best with patient humans who let her approach on her own terms and celebrate her little victories. She is still learning!
