Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Ruby is vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-free, vet-checked and has an EU passport. A super friendly hello to you dog friends, I'm the pretty Ruby and currently looking for my very own soulmates. I was born around July 2026 and will become a medium-sized lady dog. So I'm still at the beginning of my life and have a lot of exciting adventures ahead of me... most of all together with my future family. When we meet for the first time, I'm probably still a bit reserved. New situations and strangers unsettle me at first. I just want to find out if everything is really okay. If you give me this time, you will soon notice how my uncertainty slowly disappears. Because as soon as I feel safe, I show my true nature. Then I'm a cheerful, lively and playful dog girl who discovers the world with enthusiasm. I run full of joy over the meadows, investigate curiously everything that comes in front of my nose and am always open to new adventures. Of course, it also belongs to my young age that I sometimes still have a bit of nonsense in my head. Since I'm still at the beginning of my life, I wish for people who enjoy teaching me everything a well-bred lady dog should know. People who work with me patiently, lovingly and consistently and understand that I can't do everything perfectly yet. I would be very happy to take long walks with my humans, experience exciting excursions or try out new activities together. Just as important to me are quiet moments. After an exciting day I enjoy extensive cuddle sessions and am happy about every caress. I also get along very well with other dogs and could also live as a second dog with my new family. A home with loving and responsible children would also be conceivable for me. If you think we could fit together and a young lady dog would complete your family, then I'm really looking forward to getting to know you soon.

Ruby ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU-Pass. Ein super fröhliches Hallöchen an euch Hundefreunde, Ich bin die hübsche Ruby und momentan auf der Suche nach meinen ganz eigenen Herzensmenschen. Geboren wurde ich ungefähr im Juli 2026 und werde einmal eine mittelgroße Hundedame werden. Ich stehe also noch ganz am Anfang meines Lebens und habe jede Menge spannende Abenteuer vor mir...am liebsten natürlich gemeinsam mit meiner zukünftigen Familie. Wenn wir uns zum ersten Mal begegnen, bin ich wahrscheinlich noch etwas zurückhaltend. Neue Situationen und fremde Menschen verunsichern mich anfangs zunächst noch. Ich möchte einfach erst einmal herausfinden, ob auch wirklich alles in Ordnung ist. Gibst du mir diese Zeit, wirst du schnell merken, wie sich meine Unsicherheit langsam in Luft auflöst. Denn sobald ich mich sicher fühle, zeige ich mein wahres Wesen. Dann bin ich ein fröhliches, aufgewecktes und verspieltes Hundemädchen, das mit Begeisterung die Welt entdeckt. Ich flitze voller Freude über die Wiesen, untersuche neugierig alles, was mir vor die Nase kommt und bin immer offen für neue Abenteuer. Natürlich gehört zu meinem jungen Alter auch dazu, dass ich manchmal noch ein bisschen Quatsch im Kopf habe. Da ich noch ganz am Anfang meines Lebens stehe, wünsche ich mir Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mir alles beizubringen, was eine gut erzogene Hundedame wissen sollte. Menschen, die geduldig, liebevoll und konsequent mit mir arbeiten und verstehen, dass ich noch nicht alles perfekt kann. Ich hätte große Freude daran, mit meinen Menschen ausgedehnte Spaziergänge zu unternehmen, spannende Ausflüge zu erleben oder gemeinsam neue Beschäftigungen auszuprobieren. Genauso wichtig sind für mich aber auch ruhige Momente. Nach einem aufregenden Tag genieße ich ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten und freue mich über jede Streicheleinheit. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich ebenfalls sehr gut und könnte auch gerne als Zweithund bei meiner neuen Familie leben. Ein Zuhause mit lieben und verantwortungsbewussten Kindern wäre für mich ebenfalls gut denkbar. Wenn ihr glaubt, dass wir zusammenpassen könnten und eine junge Hundedame eure Familie vervollständigen würde, dann freue ich mich riesig darauf, euch bald kennenzulernen.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is an extra-large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ruby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruby?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Herzsprung 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Herzsprung whether they will for Ruby, what they require (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?
Tierheim Herzsprung lists Ruby as vaccinated and microchipped. Tierheim Herzsprung lists Ruby as not yet spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Herzsprung, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ruby isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Herzsprung about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
