Adopt Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Ruby – four paws, a heart, and a whole lot of adventure lust → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: September 2022 → Size / Weight: 50 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yesDescription: Ruby – a true gem on four paws! Not only because her fur shines in a warm, light-brown-gold hue, but because she also radiates from the inside. This young lady dog has a beautiful marking on her face that gives her a special expression – almost as if she's always smiling a little. Ruby is a simple, friendly female dog who loves people. She is open, allows herself to be touched immediately, enjoys every caress, and longs for closeness and affection. She gets along well with her fellow animals and shows herself to be social and balanced. But until now, Ruby unfortunately did not have the luck to truly experience life. She has lived in a boarding facility since she was a puppy – which means: lots of time in a cage, little variety, hardly any walks or discovery tours. That's why she now seeks people who are active, enjoy movement, and want to show her how wonderful life outside the boarding facility can be. People with hearts, patience, and a sense of humor – because even though Ruby is simple, not everything will change overnight.

Ruby – vier Pfoten, ein Herz und jede Menge Abenteuerlust → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 09/2022 → Grösse / Gewicht: 50 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: jaBeschreibung: Ruby – ein echtes Goldstück auf vier Pfoten! Nicht nur, weil ihr Fell in einem warmen hellbraun-gold Ton schimmert, sondern weil sie auch innerlich strahlt. Diese junge Hundedame hat eine wunderschöne Zeichnung im Gesicht, die ihr einen ganz besonderen Ausdruck verleiht – fast so, als würde sie immer ein bisschen lächeln. Ruby ist eine unkomplizierte, freundliche Hündin, die Menschen liebt. Sie ist offen, lässt sich sofort anfassen, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und sehnt sich nach Nähe und Zuwendung. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sie sich gut und zeigt sich sozial und ausgeglichen. Doch bisher hatte Ruby leider nicht das Glück, das Leben wirklich kennenzulernen. Sie lebt, seit sie ein Welpe ist, in einer Pension – das bedeutet: viel Zeit im Zwinger, wenig Abwechslung, kaum Spaziergänge oder Entdeckungstouren. Darum sucht sie nun Menschen, die aktiv sind, Spaß an Bewegung haben und ihr zeigen möchten, wie schön das Leben außerhalb der Pension sein kann. Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Humor – denn auch wenn Ruby unkompliziert ist, wird nicht alles von heute auf morgen klappen. Das Leben draußen, Leine laufen, Straßenverkehr, Begegnungen – all das wird sie Schritt für Schritt ler

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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" — 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. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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.
