About Ruby

Ruby is estimated by the vet to be about 7 months old. She is a Golden Retriever. Unfortunately her and her sister were wandering around on their own for a long period of time and ended up having to be live trapped in order to get them out of the cold. Ruby is much more outgoing than her sister is. She wants so very much to play but we don't believe she was ever given a chance to be a puppy with having to fend for herself. She is very sweet - no aggression whatsoever - just hesitant to approach people. She has some specific needs in her forever home - so make sure you meet those needs before you fill out an application - we know that everyone loves a Golden but at the same time this little girl does have some special requirements: 1. She will require a fenced in yard for her own protection - must be 5' or over - an electric fence will not work. 2. Preferably a home with another playful dog in the house to teach her how to be a puppy. 3. A home that understands she can NEVER be taken out for a walk, run, etc., without a leash. If she ever gets loose again the odds of ever being able to trap her a second time are very slim. 4. She will be fine in a home with kids if they just let her get used to them. 5. A home that understands she is not fully housebroken and there will be accidents as she adjusts in. 6. A home that has a TON of love to give to her. 7. She is not a farm dog. She has now been spayed, is current on all of her shots and has been micro-chipped. Her adoption fee will be $250.00. We are now accepting applications for her and you will find those on our website at www.patriotsforpets.com She is a beautiful dog who hasn't had life easy and deserves the very best home out there for the rest of her life.
