Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ruby Tuesday. Ruby is 18 - 24 months old female red and white smooth
coated Lab/ McNab mix. She's really sweet and still has lots of puppy-like
energy. Her photos don't do her justice, as she doesn't like to sit still
to be photographed. Ruby is much better looking in person.
Ruby came to via BCIN as a special favor from the shelter. She was used as
an evaluation dog for temperament testing for new intakes at the shelter.
Sadly, Ruby did not generate any adoption interest, so she was slated for
euthanization. Shelter staff loved her and asked us to intervene to save
her life. How could we resist? Ruby does have a really nice temperament.
Her only fault is that she can climb and jump a 6' chain link fence. So,
she can't be placed in a home with any chain link, no matter the height. We
also feel that she should not be placed as only dog, unless her new owner is
home a good part of the time. She really seems to enjoy being with another
dog or her person.
She's socialized with other dogs and adores people (also likes tummy rubs).
Ruby is rambunctious and will need a very active household to channel her
energy. Because of her exuberance, she's not well suited to be in a home
with small children -not because she is aggressive, but she could knock them
over. Ruby is good on the leash, and she does know basic obedience
commands. She will ride in a crate in the car.
To be her family, you must be committed to work with the destruction and/or
energy associated with raising a young adult dog. As with all dogs,
socialization and obedience classes are a must. This will ensure that I
will be an outgoing, socialized, well-behaved, and well-adjusted dog in your
family.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption
application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any
meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on
our website at
