Ruby

Meet Ruby! This pretty, tailed girl was placed 14 months ago, shortly before her first birthday. She came from a home with kids and other dogs, cats, and horses outside. Her busy family rehomed her because she was a little too much for their kids (2 yo, 6 yo, and 9 yo children) and would get excited with the kids and try to herd them and nip them (not aggression, and no broken skin). The people didn't feel it was something they could work on, so decided to rehome. I had a great home on my waitlist and she was adopted without even posting her. <br/><br/>But, unfortunately, its not working out. Shes been there a little over a year now, has been spayed and had entropion surgery (twice!), and is healthy and happy, but shes gone after her older dog-sister (5 yo female Labrador) several times now in what sounds like some redirected aggression, where she gets amped up and excited/over threshold about something else (say, bunnies outside in the yard - she has a high prey drive) and then jumps her sister. They get along well in general, and Ruby is good with other dogs, but the older dog is now naturally wary of Ruby now, which, being an adolescent Rottweiler girl, brings out the bully in Ruby. <br/><br/>Ruby (currently residing in the Chehalis area) just turned 2 years old a couple of months ago (b. 4/29/24) and is now ready for a life of adventure. Shes an active girl and friendly with people and other dogs, and would do well in a home that wants a dog to do things with hiking buddy, scent work, Rally obedience, agility, dock diving, and she would excel at barn hunt. Shes crate trained and had basic obedience (sit, down, stay) but would benefit from a refresher obedience class in her new home and someone who's willing to continue to work with her to give her an outlet for her energy and intelligence. <br/><br/>This girl has so much to offer and is looking for her forever family to make her dreams come true. <br/><br/>Apply to adopt this beautiful girl: https://forms.spdrdogs.org/Adoption/<br/><br/>Washington state - no interstate transports. Will consider adopters in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, B.C., and Montana.
