About Ruby
Meet Ruby, a gorgeous 7-month-old Border Collie cross with a big heart and plenty of puppy energy! Ruby is a friendly, social girl who loves meeting new people, getting attention and having fun. She's a playful pup who enjoys spending time with other dogs and could happily live with a suitable canine companion. She can be a little unsure around some dogs, so slow introductions and positive experiences will help build her confidence. Ruby would suit a home with older children (teenagers and up) and a family who can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment and continued obedience training. Being a clever, energetic young girl, she'll love having opportunities to keep both her mind and body busy! If Ruby sounds like the perfect fit for your family, fill out an expression of interest form and our kennels team will be in touch!
