About Ruby
Meet Ruby, an intelligent and loving six-year-old German Shepherd, who is ready to bring her vibrant personality to a new family. With a keen sense of adventure, Ruby thrives in open spaces, exuding agility with her ability to scale over 1.2m fencing, making her unsuited to an acreage setting especially if there is livestock. Good fencing is a must for her.
Well-behaved and good-natured, Ruby is fond of people and children. She currently lives harmoniously with two little ones, demonstrating her ability to blend seamlessly into a family environment. Trained in basic obedience and impressive on a lead, Ruby is a terrific walking companion, however she is reactive to strange dogs.
It's important to mention that Ruby hasn't been tested with other small animals or cats and she still retains her instinctual drive, which has previously led her to chase sheep. Hence, she might fit best in a home without such pets.
Ruby's ideal family would have previous experience with German Shepherds, understanding their unique blend of loyalty, intelligence, and love. She is hopeful for a new family who can offer her the time, commitment, and the companionship she so richly deserves.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd and are seeking a companion dog, Ruby could be a perfect match. Despite her age, Ruby has plenty of love, loyalty, and companionship to give. Her trust once earned will be unyielding and strong, just as the bond between you two will be.
Please note that while applications from Queensland and Victoria are welcome, families from these areas will need to be able to drive to Gundaroo to meet Ruby. If for any reason she doesn't fit with your family, you'll have the responsibility of returning her to Sydney or assisting with rehoming from your location. Reach out to us by selecting "Enquire about Ruby" if you feel that you can offer Ruby the loving home she deserves!
Medical notes
Ruby is microchipped, vaccinated and desexed.

Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
