Ruby

Ruby is an approximately 8 year old miniature Pinscher

Despite being an older dog, she learned to walk on a lead, sit happily in cafes, accompany us on camping trips (although the car can still make her a little anxious), tolerate and even sometimes enjoy the company of our other dog and cat. She also enjoys visiting relatives and spending time with their small dogs

She is not a particularly playful dog but loves to be loved, go for walks and cuddle up on the couch

She’s always been fine with our cat, apart from the occasional chase (which is often enjoyed and provoked by our cat!) She gets along fine with other dogs, but I’m not sure if she really needs them as she seems to prefer human company

She loves to walk and for such a tiny dog she can walk for days! She doesn’t have great recall and is totally led by her nose so an enclosed garden and a lead is a necessity

Shes a very loving dog who loves to be loved. She loves nothing more than to be wrapped up under a big warm blanket with some human company

Ruby had a very tough start to life, and due to this she is continuing to show issues around food, and can be food aggressive, this behaviour can be managed in the home, but any new owners will need to be able to put plans in place for this

Ruby is looking for an adult only home with a secure garden
