Adopt Ruby

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 3 years

This lovely girl is 3 years old and is spayed. She is currently looking for a new home due to health restrictions of her owner which means she is not being exercised, which understandably her owner feels is unfair, particularly as she is being left for long periods. Ruby currently lives with a teenaged child. She is anxious around younger ones, so if there are children in her new home they would need to be teenage or older. She currently lives with a small dog. Ruby is small sized lab, and very affectionate and loves a tummy tickle! She does pull on the lead which is currently managed using a ‘halti’. Her owner says she shows little interest in dogs outside the home. Ruby travels well in the car but does wait for someone to lift her in. She sometimes gets sore, itchy paws in the summer and her current owner has used a special shampoo for it. She has a small lump on her foot which has been checked by the vet who believes it will resolve. She doesn’t like her paws touched due to negative experiences at the vets for nail clipping. If you are interested in this lovely girl, and live in an area the charity covers which are listed please register your interest by email to or giving details of your experience and the home you have to offer. If you are shortlisted you will be contacted further.
