Ruby

Reason for rehoming:<br/><br/>Ruby was living in a backyard tied to a tree. We rescued her on August 18th, found her in urgent foster care, treated her mites, and have been slowly upping her weight as she settles into her amazing foster home. Needless to say, Ruby has been through a lot! Now decompressing, this sweet rescue pup is currently looking for a forever family to call her own! If you want to learn more about her story, you can do so here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/this-is-what-saying-yes-looks-like-help-ruby<br/><br/>Ideal family: <br/>Ruby would thrive in an active, adult-only home with people who are ready to make them part of the family. Their perfect days would include fun walks, exciting adventures, plenty of playtime, and, of course, lots of belly rubs and cozy cuddles on the couch. Ruby is afraid and insecure with new people and environments, her adoptive family will have to have the patience and intention to work on her confidence with her and allow her to bloom with the proper guidance. Ruby is extremely intelligent, food motivated, and wants to learn. She's just never been taught otherwise and has lived her life in fear with little socialization. With the proper guidance, we believe she can overcome her fear and become the happy, confident dog she deserves to be :) <br/><br/> Personality:<br/><br/>Affectionate<br/><br/>Intelligent <br/><br/>Playful <br/><br/>Loyal <br/><br/>Guard Dog<br/><br/>Quick learner <br/><br/>Stubborn <br/><br/>Strong-willed <br/><br/>Insecure<br/><br/>Protective <br/><br/>Foodie <br/><br/>Working dog <br/><br/>Anxious <br/><br/>Active <br/><br/>Loves to cuddle <br/><br/>Physical characteristics:<br/><br/>Female <br/><br/>10 months old <br/><br/>German Shepherd Mix<br/><br/>40 lbs (Underweight but currently gaining!)<br/><br/>Medium coat<br/><br/>Medium shedding<br/><br/>Social levels:<br/><br/>Good with familiar people, needs proper introduction<br/><br/>Not yet tested with other dogs, but used to live with them at the other home<br/><br/>Currently being tested in foster home, tbd<br/><br/>Recommended to be placed with teenagers or older<br/><br/>Activity levels:<br/>Medium (60-120 minutes per day)<br/><br/>Loves to:<br/><br/>Play fetch<br/><br/>Go on Walks <br/><br/>Play with toys<br/><br/>Chew on bones <br/><br/>Training levels:<br/><br/>Potty trained <br/><br/>Crate Trained<br/><br/>Basic obedience (working on it)<br/><br/>What they need to work on:<br/><br/>Dog reactivity on leash<br/><br/>Alert barking in the home<br/><br/>Desensitization to physical manipulation <br/><br/>Fear of strangers<br/><br/>Overall confidence<br/><br/>General leash manners<br/><br/>Medical Characteristics:<br/><br/>Vaccinated ( DHPP, Bordetella, Leptospirosis, Rabies)<br/><br/>Parasite prevention<br/><br/>Microchipped<br/><br/>Sterilised<br/><br/> Adoption Fee: $695<br/><br/>Medical procedures: Vaccinations, Sterilised, Microchip, Prevention Medication (tick and flea)<br/><br/>Basic supplies<br/><br/>Medical booklet<br/><br/>Informational guide<br/><br/>Support group with Passion for Paws team during adoption trial
