Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Little Ruby is waiting for a home of her own! Ruby came to us in June through our neutering campaign. She had been living with a woman outdoors in a large pack that had grown beyond her control. She could barely keep up with caring for the dogs and asked us for help. Ruby came to us along with several other dogs. Now we are looking for the right home for Ruby. She is very friendly and playful, a real "bundle of good mood." A young, lively girl, just 30 cm tall and weighing about 6-7 kg. Who has a loving place for her?

Kleine Ruby wartet auf ihr Zuhause! Ruby kam im Juni durch unsere Kastartionsaktion zu uns. Sie lebte bei einer Frau draussen in einem großen Rudel, welches ihr über den Kopf wuchs. Sie konnte die Hunde kaum noch versorgen, und bat uns um HIlfe. Ruby kam mit mehreren weiteren Hunden zu uns. Nun suchen wir das passende Zuhause für Ruby. Sie ist sehr freundlich, lustig, eine "gute Laune Paket". Ein junges, quirliges Mädchen, gerade mal 30 cm klein, bei ca. 6-7 kg Gewicht. Wer hat einen liebevollen Platz für sie?

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Hope and Liberty e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ruby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruby?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Hope and Liberty e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ruby if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Hope and Liberty e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ruby already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ruby isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Animal Hope and Liberty e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruby and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
