Adopt Ruby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Calm, balanced, and not aggressive. Ruby is a HSH mixed breed and anything but suspicious or aggressive towards strangers, as some might say regarding his "breed". He is cuddly, absolutely social, and never vicious. Of course, Ruby is no lapdog, which alone is already clear given his size ;). Nevertheless, Ruby remains a HSH mix who has his own mind and is not fond of agility or other sporting activities. Playtime, simple exercises for basic obedience, etc., would certainly be tasks that Ruby would enjoy. Like all dogs, Ruby needs a high degree of social contact with his family. We wish for Ruby a home with a securely fenced yard as well as people experienced with dogs.

Ruhig, ausgeglichen und nicht aggressiv. Ruby ist ein HSH Mischling und alles andere als misstrauisch und Fremden gegenüber aggressiv, sowie man es der „Rasse“ gerne mal nachsagt. Er ist verschmust, absolut sozial und niemals böse. Natürlich ist Ruby kein Schoßhündchen, das geht schon allein wegen seiner Größe nicht ;) Dennoch ist und bleibt Ruby ein HSH Mix der seinen eigenen Kopf hat und weder Spaß an Agility oder anderen sportlichen Aktivitäten hat. Suchspiele, einfache Übungen zum Grundgehorsam etc. sind Aufgaben an denen Ruby sicherlich Spaß hätte. Er benötigt, wie alle Hunde, ein hohes Maß an Sozialkontakt zu seiner Familie. Für Ruby wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten sowie hundeerfahrene Menschen.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Griechenland e.V. in Recklinghausen.

An young 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. 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. Tierfreunde Griechenland 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 — Tierfreunde Griechenland 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 Tierfreunde Griechenland 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.
