Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Ruby ist zurück im Tierheim, da wiederholt das Management mit Hund und Kind nicht so gestaltet wurde, wie wir das besprochen hatten. Nun könnte man meinen, das wäre schade - und ja, wir fanden es auch erst schade. Bis wir Ruby wieder gesehen, aber leider nicht wiedererkannt haben. Mittlerweile sind wir froh, dass sie zurück und langsam auch wieder die Alte ist. Ruby zeigt sich mittlerweile wieder sehr freundlich Mensch und Hund gegenüber, läuft problemlos im Hofrudel mit und lernt aktuell noch etwas gutes Benehmen. Ihr Grundgehorsam ist sehr gut, aber dass man Menschen nicht anspringt, hat sie noch nicht ganz verstanden. Für Ruby ist die Welt da draußen mittlerweile ein so unsicherer Ort geworden, dass sie nun endlich ihren „sicheren Hafen“ finden soll! Deswegen wünscht sie sich aktive, hundeerfahrene Menschen ohne Kinder, die ihr dabei helfen, ihren turbulenten Lebensstart hinter sich zu lassen und die bereit sind mit ihr durch dick und dünn zu gehen - und das nicht nur bis zum nächsten Tierheimaufenthalt, sondern bis zum letzten Atemzug! Sehen Sie sich als souveränen Menschen, der anderen - vor allem auch Hunden - Halt, Geborgenheit und Führung geben kann? Dann füllen Sie direkt bitte unser Anfrageformular aus.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tierhelfer Ingelheim 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 — Tierhelfer Ingelheim 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Tierhelfer Ingelheim 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
