Adopt Ruby & Fang

Mixed Breed ยท Unknown ยท Young ยท 3 years

Meet Ruby and Fang ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’• Ruby and Fang are our lovely 5 and 3-year-old Shih Tzu pair, believed to be mother and son, and they are every bit as special as they sound. These two are great-natured little dogs who are full of fun and an absolute joy to be around. They walk excellently on the lead, enjoy their outings, and bring plenty of happiness wherever they go. Ruby and Fang get on well with other dogs and are cat-friendly, so they could happily share their new home with feline friends too. As a bonded pair, we are looking for a loving home where they can stay together and continue enjoying life side by side. They could live with children who are dog-savvy and respectful. Two wonderful companions looking for one forever home together. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’•

About Ruby & Fang

What life with Ruby & Fang looks like

Ruby & Fang is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

An young 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" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Ruby & Fang, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruby & Fang?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruby & Fang on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ruby & Fang if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Plan for an extra โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ruby & Fang 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ruby & Fang isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruby & Fang 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
