Ruby

Female · Young · 1 year

Ruby is a young female dog around 1 year old who is now waiting to turn the page and start a new life with a loving family. Very kind, sociable and full of joie de vivre, Ruby is a dynamic dog who loves to be active and discover the world around her. She will need adopters willing to provide her with daily physical and mental expenditure in order to flourish fully. Despite her young age, Ruby already knows a lot and shows good learning abilities. Like many young dogs, she will also need to learn to settle down and enjoy quiet moments to find her balance. Ruby gets along well with her peers. Regarding cats, we do not yet know her compatibility. This pretty little girl is waiting for a caring family who will be able to accompany her, share beautiful adventures with her and offer her the stability she deserves.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a large young adult dog waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

A young 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.

Note from the shelter: Does not get along with other dogs despite multiple tests

🇫🇷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 Vannes 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 Vannes 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 Vannes 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.
