Apply on our website ( https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt )  to  set up a private meeting or check below for my adoption event schedule.   Age: Approximately 2 years old Weight: 73 lbs Dog friendly:  Limited experience with other dogs while in foster home; previous owner reported dog park visits and play with a large breed neighbor dog. Cat friendly:  Unknown/not tested Kid friendly:  Yes, older considerate kids only Potty trained:  Yes Crate trained:  Working on it - does not like the crate, slowly warming up to the crate with crate games but door has not shut yet **PHYSICAL FENCE REQUIRED** Meet Ruby GB!!! Ruby is two year old bernedoodle that encompasses all of the breed traits. She presents as a bit more Bernese Mountain Dog than Poodle in terms of personality. She is exuberant, goofy, and joyful. She has eyes that will melt your heart and a sweet, funny gentle soul in a “bull in the china shop” body.  Despite being two, Ruby still has a bit of a puppy brain and temperament in a very strong 73 lb body.   Ruby has so many amazing traits.  She rides well in the car, she sleeps through the night on a dog bed beside the big bed, she rarely barks, and her introduction to new dogs is one of calm curiosity,  She is an excellent tennis ball catcher and returner, she loves her fluffy babies, she has yet to shred a toy and her foster dad says she is getting better at catching the frisbee everyday.  Ruby can be left free in the house (she does not yet trust a crate) for up to four hours reliably. Frozen soft dog food on her lick mat is her favorite and she knows that when the special treat comes out, that her people are leaving and that they will come back. She has demonstrated some interest in “people food” when her foster mom and dad prep meals but she puts herself in an adjacent room and rests calmly while they eat. Ruby is potty trained and has had zero accidents during her time in foster care.  Ruby is extremely food motivated and enjoys training sessions fueled by repetition, praise, and treats. She learns like a puppy and benefits from repeated short training sessions with high success and frequent rewards. She knows “sit”,  “down”, “touch”, “easy” and is learning “stand” and “wait”.  Her “wait” is up to 30 seconds within line of sight.  She is working on loose leash walking and is understanding that slack in the line=more walk/more sniffs/more treats/more praise.  She loves pets and is a champion couch snuggler. Seriously, if couch snuggling was an Olympic sport Ruby would be a gold medalist.  She will lean in for a hug and drape her body across your lap to get just a little closer.  Ruby GB, like all of us, is a work in progress.  Her greatest challenge is containing her joy when reuniting with you after you both have been apart.  She is a powerful jumper and may have difficulty inhibiting nipping in moments of intense excitement or joy.  She is working on “easy” in high excitement situations and taking treats with no teeth even when super excited or happy.  She is working on “four on the floor”(all paws on the ground) and pattern games with a high value treat has helped her understand that no jumps=sooner pets.  She gets better everyday. Her forever family will recognize and understand her sweet sensitive soul and offer patience, kindness, consistency, structure, and predictability.  They will need to continue to help Ruby learn and remind her she is safe.  They will need to help Ruby continue to develop her confidence and overcome some of her fears. She is cautious with some men and may need extra assurance that hands are only for pets, connecting leashes for walkies, and treats. Gates, doors, and thresholds, are still at times a source of uncertainty but each positive encounter is an opportunity to learn predictability and safety.  A commitment to ongoing positive reinforcement training and additional support for teaching Ruby about how to settle and be calm are essential.  If you choose to invest in loving and learning with this dog you will be rewarded with more joy than your heart can hold.   Adoption Fee: $795Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.INTERESTED IN MEETING ME?

Tiffy is a big, beautiful, house trained and spoiled 3 year old St. Pyrenees. She is an indoor furbaby that loves walks, treats, and lots of love. She also LOVES the outdoors. I adopted her 2 years ago and she's been a gem but I am moving. She gets along fine with my grandkids but really has no interest in them. She has gotten along with all dogs she has been introduced to since I have had her. She is fully vetted and spayed. She is beautiful but a little overweight. She deserves a home that will spoil her rotten!!!! References checked. Please share with potential adopters! Thank you!
