Ruby – 2 1/2 year old female Lurcher cross German Shepherd Dog
Ruby is a very pretty 2 1/2 year old female Lurcher cross German Shepherd Dog. She is very loving and loyal.
Poor Ruby has experienced a terrible trauma sometime in her young life. It is suspected that she had boiling oil poured over her back. Thankfully the scarring is now covered by fur and the vet has confirmed that the skin has healed and Ruby will not require any ongoing treatment.
Despite her trauma you couldn’t wish to meet a more affectionate, happy and obedient dog as Ruby, who really wants to please and be with you.
Ruby bonds strongly with her carers so we are looking for a home where Ruby can be someone’s number one companion and who can give her lots of attention. Ruby would also do well with an owner sensible enough not to allow her to become too dependent on them.
Ruby loves retrieving a ball, including those that go into the sea and she will retrieve a ball until she is completely worn out! Ruby also loves playing with other dogs and will try to get dogs to chase her for fun. She will play with dogs of any size.
From a distance Ruby panics when she sees another dog and she will bark and jump about when she is on a lead. Off the lead, she will run up to other dogs, sniff them and come back to you. We feel, therefore, that Ruby is better off in a rural area where she is less likely to be on a lead coming into contact with lots of other dogs.
Ruby lives happily with other dogs. She would be a great companion for another dog. Ruby could possibly live with a cat. Ruby is likely to be fine around sensible children from 10 upwards.
