Rumänien 🐾 Ruby – A second chance for our special female dog ❤️ approx. 5 years old (as of 13.09.2026) | friendly, lively Our beautiful female dog has had quite a lot of experiences in her life. About four years ago, she was rescued from a group of around 30 dogs. The group disappeared one day and it is sadly suspected that the dogs were killed by the manager of a cattle farm. She was lucky and was secured in time. 🙏🐾 Today, she shows herself as an active, people-oriented and generally social female dog who gets along well with other dogs. She enjoys being close to people and is an uncomplicated and friendly companion outside of certain situations. ⚠️ However, there is a special thing about food and resources: She shows a clear food jealousy. She wants her resources for herself and tries to keep other dogs away from the food. For example, she would repeatedly switch between the bowls during feeding to ensure that no other dog gets anything from "her" food. 😅🍖 Outside of feeding situations, she shows herself as social and well-tolerated with other dogs.

Aufenthaltsort: Rumänien 🐾 Ruby – Eine zweite Chance für unsere besondere Hündin ❤️ ca. 5 Jahre alt (Stand 13.09.2026) | freundlich, aufgeweckt Unsere hübsche Hündin hat in ihrem Leben bereits einiges durchmachen müssen. Vor rund vier Jahren konnte sie aus einer etwa 30-köpfigen Hundegruppe gerettet werden. Die Gruppe verschwand eines Tages und es besteht der traurige Verdacht, dass die Hunde vom Geschäftsführer eines Rinderzuchtbetriebs getötet wurden. Sie hatte Glück und konnte rechtzeitig gesichert werden. 🙏🐾 Heute zeigt sie sich als aktive, menschenbezogene und grundsätzlich soziale Hündin , die sich mit Artgenossen gut versteht. Sie genießt die Nähe zu Menschen und ist außerhalb bestimmter Situationen eine unkomplizierte und freundliche Begleiterin. ⚠️ Eine Besonderheit gibt es jedoch beim Thema Futter und Ressourcen: Beim Fressen zeigt sie einen deutlichen Futterneid. Sie möchte ihre Ressourcen für sich haben und versucht, andere Hunde vom Futter fernzuhalten. So kam es beispielsweise vor, dass sie während der Fütterung immer wieder zwischen den Näpfen wechselte, um sicherzustellen, dass kein anderer Hund etwas von „ihrem“ Futter bekommt. 😅🍖 Außerhalb der Fütterungssituation zeigt sie sich hingegen sozial und gut verträglich mit anderen Hunden .

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rescued Souls e.V. in Pfinztal.

An 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Rescued Souls 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 — Rescued Souls 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Rescued Souls 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.
