Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female

Age: 1 year Size: large Sex: female Good with other dogs: Yes, but bouncy! So may be too much for small or older dogs Good with cats: unknown, unlikely Good with children: 10+ and dog savvy (just because of bounce factor!) Ruby came to us after she was left by her owners on a family who could not keep her She is a strikingly beautiful girl who needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated! She has such a sweetness about her, it’s impossible not to fall In love 😍 Ruby could barely open her eyes when she arrived to us, suffering from painful entropian, where the eyelashes curl inwards and can cause painful ulcers and even blindness if left untreated Ruby has now had surgery on both eyes to correct this, and has lovely healthy eyes 😍 At a guess Ruby could be a Shar Pei / Rottweiler mix, but this is unknown. She is the size of a large Labrador and has the classic Pei wrinkles on her face Ruby loves to play with other dogs, she could live with another as long as they can match her play style but also set boundaries with her, she could also live as a solo dog with dog friends Ruby loves her walks, she can be strong so needs a capable owner to hold a large dog, and also continue he

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Auras Dogs UK in United Kingdom.

An 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Auras Dogs UK 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 — Auras Dogs UK 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Auras Dogs UK 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 (EN). 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.
