Meet Ruby
Ruby is a pint-sized Staffy mix with a huge heart and an even bigger love for people. This sweet girl is incredibly affectionate and would happily spend her day soaking up cuddles and scratches from her favourite humans.
Ruby can be a little cautious when first exploring new situations but it doesn’t take her long to show her fun side. Once comfortable she transforms into a playful, bouncy girl who loves chasing toys, exploring with her nose and joining in on adventures.
Like many young Staffy types, Ruby is enthusiastic about life and can occasionally become overwhelmed in busy environments. She will thrive with owners who can provide guidance, enrichment and positive training.
Ruby may enjoy living with another suitable dog and would make a lovely companion for an active household looking for an affectionate, playful best friend.
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
