Ruby Doo - Shepherd and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Saugus, Massachusetts

RE-INTRODUCING our RUBY DOO

That smile. Seriously... how could you not fall in love with that face?!

Ruby originally came to us from the amazing @streethearts.project — a rescue we greatly admire. About a year ago, we thought she had found her forever family. Unfortunately, she wasn't the right fit and after almost a year she was returned back to us..

Ruby is a young adult herding breed mix, and dogs like her need exercise, structure, training, socialization and outlets for those busy brains. She missed out on some of that during really important months and came back to us needing quite a bit of work.

Since then, we have invested a LOT into this girl. Ruby completed a training program and is now fostered with one of our amazing foster coordinators, Barbara who continues working with her every day. And she is making progress!

Is Ruby perfect? Nope. But honestly, who is?

She IS happy, smart, adorable and always smiling. She just needs the RIGHT person.

Someone dog savvy, active and ideally experienced with herding breeds. Someone who understands that Ruby needs continued structure, exercise, training and healthy outlets for her drive, along with plenty of love.

Ruby isn't looking for a home where she'll simply exist. She's looking for someone who will DO life with her.

PLEASE SHARE RUBY DOO.
Her person has to be out there.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.

The terrier is a spirited and intelligent dog breed known for its feisty personality and boundless energy. Terriers come in various sizes and coat types, but they all share a common heritage as fearless and determined hunters. These dogs are typically highly trainable, making them versatile companions for active individuals and families alike. With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.

The Gals Best Pal Rescue Mission is to be a voice for the voiceless as it advocates for the dogs...
