My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ruby came to the shelter as a stray so we don't know much about where she came from. We think she was likely an outdoor dog, being indoors seems very unfamiliar to her. Since she arrived she has been timid and unsure of her surroundings. Despite being nervous, she has been so tolerant of all handling and cares. We don't think she has a mean bone in her body. She has slowly warmed up to staff and loves to go on walks. Being outside seems to get her out of her shell and her tail wagging. She has shown a lot of interest in the other dogs so getting her in playgroup has started to build her confidence. When other dogs are around it makes her feel safe and shows her that she can trust us. She would love to be adopted into a home with another dog. Ruby has spent some time up in the office with staff and proved she is actually quite mischievous (she is a counter surfer and apparently likes to be tall-a staff member found her all fours on top of the desk!) She came around quickly and got quite comfy being around the staff, she curled up on the bed in the office to nap. She didn't pay any mind to the office cat either so would do fine in a home with cats. She did well with the leash and crate testing part of her evaluation. Ruby is currently in foster and the foster reports she is doing great. She is not house trained so will need an adopter with the patience to teach her. She spends most of her time napping in the dog bed and has been overall an easy dog to handle. If you're looking for a quiet companion to keep you company, Ruby would be a good fit for you.
