Ruby

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 6 years

Notre jolie Ruby recherche aujourd’hui sa famille pour la vie, prête à lui offrir toute l’attention et l’affection qu’elle mérite. Très câline et particulièrement proche de l’humain, Ruby est une chienne attachante qui aime partager le quotidien de sa famille. Elle apprécie les moments de tendresse, la présence de ses humains et sera ravie de faire partie intégrante de la vie du foyer. Elle est également propre. Ruby apprécie la compagnie des enfants et pourra donc rejoindre une famille avec ceux-ci. Une famille disponible et active, prête à partager avec elle des balades, des moments de jeu mais aussi de belles séances de câlins, ferait son bonheur. En revanche, Ruby souhaite garder ses humains rien que pour elle ! Elle devra être le seul animal du foyer. Un jardin parfaitement sécurisé, avec une clôture d’au moins 1,80 m, sera donc indispensable afin qu’elle puisse en profiter en toute sécurité. Vous recherchez une chienne câline, présente et prête à partager votre quotidien ? Ruby vous attend au refuge. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour venir la rencontrer et découvrir son adorable personnalité.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is an adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

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. SPA La Louvière 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 — SPA La Louvière 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 SPA La Louvière 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
