RUBY

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Please read our Homing Criteria BEFORE applying for any of our dogs.BREED: LabradorSEX: Female (Neutered)AGE: Aprox. 7 YearsSIZE: Medium/LargeLovely Ruby is a beautiful and very friendly girl who has come from a life on a farm where she has both bred puppies and been a working gun dog. However, she has recently developed an interest in the chickens on the farm and although she hasn't harmed any, this prompted her former owner to decide that as Ruby was now retired from both her past breeding and past working careers, she would be better off in a loving home. Ruby agrees!Ruby has lived with children of all ages. She has not lived with cats or small pets, and should not be re-homed with chickens! She has been used to other dogs of all ages and is happy around them, but would be suitable to be re-homed as an only dog or with other dogs. She has not been used to life off the farm, so is only used to a very rural lifestyle and will therefore need patient end empathic handling as she learns all about life in a busier environment.Ruby walks nicely on the lead, and is a lovely and very interactive dog who really enjoys fuss and attention. She is used to human or canine company most of the time.When a dog moves into a new home, they need time and consideration to help them feel confident and settled. They are having to adjust to a totally different environment, with new people and new challenges, and when one adopts a rescue dog, one must be ready to help them through not just the first few days, but for as long as it takes for them to feel comfortable in their new life. They are relying on their new owners to teach them the house rules and all about the new world they are living in. They are likely to need and benefit from dog training classes, and may also need behavioural help and the adopter may need to seek professional advice. If you are considering adopting, please be very sure that you are committed to the needs of your new friend, as they will be relying on you and their life and happiness is literally in your hands. This will last for their lifetime, so please also take an honest look at your age and activity levels and ensure that you are likely to be able to meet their ongoing needs.Please fill in our Application Form if you are interested in adopting this dog(If the animal’s name does not appear in the drop down box on the form - it means the animal is already reserved)
