Ruby's Story

Ruby’s story doesn’t start the way we wish it did... she was abandoned in a home alongside another dog, left behind and unsure of what would come next. Thankfully, she was brought to safety but while her former companion has already found their forever home, Ruby is still waiting for hers.<br/>Despite everything she’s been through, Ruby is truly a sweet girl at heart. She does, however, show signs of fear-based reactivity, which means she’s looking for a very special home one with someone who understands dog behavior, can read her cues, and is willing to give her the patience and guidance she needs to feel safe and secure.<br/>Ruby would do best as the only pet in an adult-only home, where she can have a calm and predictable environment. She thrives when she has space to decompress and absolutely loves spending time outdoors.<br/>Ruby isn’t a “plug-and-play” dog, but for the right person, she has so much love to give. With time, understanding, and compassion, Ruby has the potential to blossom into an incredibly loyal companion.<br/>She’s been through a lot... now she just needs someone to show her what it truly means to be home.<br/>If your interesed in adopting, please fill out a pre adoption application.<br/>http://shsanimalshelter.com/somerset-humane-society-pet-adoption/adoptable-dogs/

Somerset Humane Society's Adoption Policy
The first step is to fill out our online pre adoption application which is found on our website. This will get your information to us and let us know which pet you are interested in so we can begin the approval process on our end. Please be aware that filling out the pre-adoption application does not guarantee adoption of the pet. We recommend that you follow up your application with a call or a visit to the shelter to meet the pet you are interested in. When we receive multiple applications for the same pet, our policy is to choose the home we feel is best suited for that pet’s unique needs. We can not hold available pets for more than 24 hours for any potential adopters. Please call the shelter at 207-474-6493 during business hours to ask any further questions about the adoption process.
