Ruby von Trimmer is a gorgeous 3 year old long haired German Shepherd with red highlights who easily steals your heart. She is such a gentle greeter with people, everyone feels her kind energy. We don't know what happened, but somewhere in the past Ruby had eye trauma, so she is looking for a calm home and predictable environment. We do know that she is very sweet and well behaved. She is being fostered by our trainer Emily who describes her as lovely: "Once she has picked you, she's all in. She checks in, she wants to get it right, and she's one of the easiest dogs you'll ever live with; a big love who will crawl into your lap if you let her. She's quiet in the house, settles without fuss, and takes direction well."  When we had her at the rescue initially, she was a gentle, quiet presence and would readily warm up, appreciating gentle pets on the head and scratches under the chin. She is obedience trained, walks beautifully on leash, and does well in public. Part of her training was to be exposed to things outside the home. She did great in all public settings during multiple outings, including to the park, Lowe’s, Home Depot, shopping centers, etc. She doesn’t want to share her home with another pet, tho. While she is great passing dogs on leash, off leash or sharing a home is not a good scenario for her - she wants to be your one and only sweetheart.  If you are looking for a loyal, soft-hearted shadow who is happy just being with her person, Ruby is that dog.  So kind and intuitive, she is definitely one to be your soul dog.
