Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We love our big girls here at BEAR and Ruby is just that! Ruby has come into rescue from Louisville, KY as a stray. You guessed it, she was never reclaimed. When found Ruby had some scars that tell us she did not have an easy life. Heavy fly strike to her ears and scars on the outside of her back legs makes us think she spent a good amount of time chained up and being bred. Despite what Ruby has gone through, she remains trusting of humans. Dogs never cease to amaze us.
We feel Ruby will need a home with breed experience and a fenced-in yard. It is possible Ruby can get along with the right male dog so a meet and greet will be needed. Children should be 12 and older and know how to respect the Akita breed. Please NO CATS, no small dogs for Ruby.
Currently Ruby is very strong on leash and will need some more time and work which we are giving her. Don't you just love those freckles?!
