Meet Granite Falls / Ruby

General Notes | Super sweet, mello and funny! Personality | Loves to wag her tail when she's playing or exploring. Ruby is definitely a 'gem in the ruff'. As a long time breeder momma, for the first time she's enjoying walks, belly rubs and people talking to her. She's on a weight loss dog food due to her weight, and with continued exercise she'll be a normal 5 year young dog in no time. She can't wait to be outside enjoying her people. Story | rescued from a breeder that was going to euthanize her and 25 others! For 4 years she likely did nothing but pump out chocolate lab puppies. Other Dogs | wags her tail.. was housed with many dogs; however, she prefers a slower introduction. Currently lives with a male dog and they coexist fine after time. Cats |Cat friendly even with food present - as long as the cat doesn't want to rub on her. Like always - supervision required in the beginning. Will get even better with training.Children | she is very sweet with young children and teenagers, and seeks their belly rubs! Training | in <1 day she's learned the house/our routine.  She knows her name. She comes and loves to go outside to explore. She learned the ramp to get in the car with a few kibble. Likes riding in the car, is completely housebroken (tells you when she needs to go), and can be left to roam in the house without fear of destruction.  Leash | walks well! Tail wags the whole time she's out. She's also been great off leash outside with her foster. Activity Level | low-medium ..will likely be medium as she loses weight but she'll always be mellow Health Notes  Healthy .. just needs help losing weight from being a mom.  Handling weight loss - diet & exercise well. She is heartworm negative! Thank you! | Adoption Donations |  Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age.
