Description:
Meet Ruby! Ruby made her way to Wisconsin from Texas last spring, and while her pervious family absolutely loves and adored her, they have made the difficult decision to help her find a home that better fits her needs.
Ruby has been struggling to feel comfortable with the young children in her current home. Their quick movements, high energy, and tendency to get in her space can make her anxious. Ruby is looking for a home with older, slower-moving children who understand the importance of giving a dog space and respecting their boundaries.
Don't let that fool you, though! Ruby is an energetic, playful girl who also happens to be a total lover and snuggle bug. She loves cuddling up in your lap or right by your side and will happily follow you around wherever you go! She especially loves sleeping snuggled up with her human and sleeps through the night without any problems!
Ruby gets along great with other dogs and enjoys playing with her furry friends and toys, with stuffed animals being her favorite! She also loves going on walks and adventures. She walks wonderfully on a harness and recently did great walking alongside two other dogs. Ruby is crate trained and continuing to work on potty training. Although her previous family mentioned she wasn't quite 100% potty trained, she hasn't had any accidents in her current foster home! With regular trips outside, she has been doing a wonderful job. She will still need a family willing to provide consistency, patience, and continued training as she settles into her new home.
Ruby is truly a wonderful, friendly, and sweet pup with so much love to give. She is hoping to find a family who understands her needs, respects her boundaries, and will give her all the love she deserves. Could that be you?
Adoption Fee: $650
We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433
***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.
Our Weight Classes are as follows:
0- 25lbs - Small
26- 45lbs - Medium
46-89 - Large
90+ X-large
If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out.
