Meet Ruby! If a long walk or hike is your thing, Ruby can't wait to join you. When you're done, she will happily snuggle with you on the couch and give you lots of hugs and kisses to let you know how much she appreciates you. If this sounds like a great day to you, then Ruby may be your perfect match!

Ruby is a 4-year-old, 60-lb female Red Heeler with medium to high energy who loves lots of exercise/mental stimulation, would love a job, and will reward her human with cuddles, kisses, and companionship. She is a typical Heeler - incredibly smart, wants to perform, and is the ultimate protector!

She can get overstimulated by lots going on in her home so she should be the only pet and would prefer to live in a home with adults and no small children (older kids may be okay). Ruby knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, come), she is house trained and crate trained, and in great health. She learns very fast and is treat motivated.

Important note: Cherry needs an adopter that has experience with a herding breed and is willing and able to work with her on some behavior modification. If you are willing to commit to her, she will be the best companion you've ever had!

 

She exhibits typical heeler nipping towards humans with 2 incidents that have caused bruising. Attention is always directed at lower legs and while a bike is involved.

Her most frequent behavioral aggression is directed at other dogs. This includes biting and pinning the other dog to the ground. This behavior typically occurs when there is a resource or person she feels she needs to guard.

Our family had to make the very difficult decision to rehome Ruby as our young daughter and elderly dog create too much stimulation for her. These two factors make her resource guard and it has become unsafe not only for our daughter and elderly dog, but for her. We do not want Ruby to end up in a position in our home where she really hurts someone and therefore need to find her a better fit.

Ruby is spayed, full vetted, is up to date on vaccines, is microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and dewormed. She comes with 2 crates and he favorite toys. We are willing to transport her within 5 hours of Corning, NY and are open to other options if we feel it is a perfect fit for her.
