RUBY

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 6 years

Hello friends, my name is Ruby and I'm going to tell you my story. It may seem sad, but don't worry, today I'm much better and I'm ready to join my family for life. In my previous family, I didn't have a good life. In the last few weeks, I lived in an education cage without food. Today, all that is behind me, thanks to volunteers who came to get me. I then met humans who take care of me by feeding me, taking me for walks, and doing all sorts of wonderful things. They also told me that the best is yet to come, finding the warmth and love of a loving home. I'm a little girl who loves humans, I would like a family that takes care of me, that is, a family without other animals so I can enjoy lots of cuddles. Don't hesitate and come meet me, I'll fill you with love!

Hello les z'amis, je m'appelle Ruby et je vais vous raconter mon histoire. Celle-ci peut paraître triste mais rassurez-vous aujourd'hui je vais beaucoup mieux et je suis prête à rejoindre ma famille pour la vie. Dans ma précédente famille, je n'ai pas vécu que des bonnes choses en effet sur les dernières semaines je vivais en cage d'éducation sans avoir de quoi me nourrir. Aujourd'hui tout cela est derrière moi, grâce à des bénévoles qui sont venus me chercher. J'ai alors rencontrer des humains qui prennent soin de moi en me nourrissant, en me sortant en balade et tout un tas de choses qui sont superbes géniales. Ils m'ont aussi glissés dans l'oreille que le meilleur reste à venir, trouver la chaleur et l'amour d'un foyer aimant. Je suis une louloute qui adore l'humain, j'aimerai une famille qui s'occupe que de moi c'est à dire une famille sans autres animaux pour que je puisse profiter d'un maximum de câlins. N'hésitez plus et venez à ma rencontre, je vous comblerai d'amour !

About RUBY

What life with RUBY looks like

RUBY is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at SPA Laon in Laon.

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.

Note from the shelter: Previous neglect history, requires patient rehabilitation

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. SPA Laon 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 — SPA Laon 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 SPA Laon 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
