I am currently on PREVIEW

Do you love large, gentle, quiet, low energy, passive dogs whose sole purpose is to be against your side, on your lap or across your chest (a living, breathing weighted blanket) to tell you how much you are loved? Truly, I have no sense of personal space and want to be on you to express the depths of my love. I need a home where this calm, gentle, quiet and extreme loving nature is valued as a constant presence rather than a missed opportunity by leaving me alone for long periods of time. If this suits you, then I’m your gal. My name is Ruby and I am indeed a gem. I love greeting and being with humans of all sizes and they love me because I am so chill. I have really mastered this gentle and quiet thing. I am also strong and can exert that strength whether it is an occasional short dash stopping when I hit the end of my leash, or when I go limp to make moving me a weight room challenge (especially when I’m on you and you need to get up). Speaking of leash, I am a great walker. I amble along and enjoy tracking smells on the ground. I love meeting people and am thrilled to spot bunnies, squirrels and gophers. Bunnies are fun to observe, perhaps chase, but squirrels and gophers, well my mission is to keep our neighbourhood clear of them. I love my yard and am happy to freely explore it but understand my need for boundaries. I am usually good with meeting dogs as long as they are chill like me and not insistent on being dominant. When we pass reactive dogs on walks, I will give them a “what the heck” glance but do not respond to their nonsense. I use to live with dogs but am wallowing in a dog-free home where I get all the attention and do not compete for food. I may tend to resource guard my food around other dogs. For this reason, a dog free home would likely be best for me. I have met cats on walks and am curious. I might get along with a dog-savvy, confident cat who, along with my humans, keeps me in check. I love pulling all my toys out of my toy box and playing with them and better yet when my mom tosses them for me to chase and return. I miss my humans when they occasionally go out. I hang out in my kennel crying my sorrows away, but they don’t leave me long, thank goodness. I am happiest and ever so calm and relaxed hanging with my people. My goal is to make everyone with me as comfortable and happy as I am with them. Do you think you could love me as your best, devoted and constant companion? If so, please apply.

Love, Ruby
