Ruby

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Ruby ist eine sanfte, zurückhaltende und sensible, aber auch sehr eigenständige und wachsame Hündin. Sie schlägt an, wenn Besucher kommen und würde sie ohne einen klaren Menschen an ihrer Seite nicht hereinlassen. Doch Ruby ist eine äußerst gelehrige Hündin, die vor allem souveräne, ruhige und unaufgeregte Menschen an ihrer Seite braucht, die Hunde aus der Verantwortung nehmen und sie führen können. Besonders wichtig sind ihr Vertrauen in und Sicherheit durch ihre Menschen. Ruby ist kein Schmusehund und möchte nicht gestreichelt werden. Gemeinsame Spaziergänge durch den Wald oder über Wiesen, ausgiebig schnüffeln sowie hin und wieder an ruhigen Orten innehalten - das alles gefällt Ruby sehr. Die hübsche Hündin versteht sich mit vielen anderen Hunden, geht freundlich mit Katzen um und hat Freude daran, an der Seite von Pferden mitzulaufen. Ruby ist stubenrein, leinenführig, abrufbar, fährt problemlos im Auto mit und kann nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung einige Stunden alleine bleiben. Sie hat ein Maulkorbtraining absolviert und trägt diesen problemlos. Wir suchen für Ruby ein eher ländliches Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen ohne Kinder. Ein eingezäunter Garten, in dem Ruby nach Herzenslust schnüffeln, rennen und auch zur Ruhe kommen kann, wäre für sie ein Traum. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis Ruby kann nach vorheriger Absprache besucht werden.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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 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. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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.
