Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


My husband and I got Ruby in 2019. She is a fun and cuddly lap dog, very loyal and sweet. She has fearful issues where when she sees strangers she wants to nip at them. She has been okay around us and certain people though. We recently had a baby and the baby was pulling on her tail, usually for the past 6 months when this has happened Ruby would walk away from the baby and not react at all. However last month she reacted and bit our baby. There was no blood drawn but she was definitely visibly scratched up. We are heartbroken because we love our dog in every other way and she’s so good otherwise. We feel she would do best in a home as the only dog with no children. We put her in a kennel when people come over. She’s house trained and behaves great besides her fearfulness of strangers.
