Ruby St. Bernard Adult Female

Location:

Colorado Springs, CO

Description:

This is Ruby! She is a 2 year old rough coat Saint Bernard (she’ll be 3 in August). Ruby is 120 pounds of pure love. She loves life and naps equally the same. She loves playing out in the yard, playing tug-o-war with other doggy friends and snuggling up in bed or on the couch with her people. She currently uses a large hallway as her, “cage,” when her family isn’t home and does amazing as long as she has water and something to chew on, but she can normally be heard snoring away! Ruby has been socialized with dogs, cats, kids and all people. Throughout these years though, she’s made it abundantly clear that she does NOT like cats, female dogs or little dogs and is reactive to all of those. Ruby would thrive in a home either being an only dog, or with a playful male dog 50 pounds or bigger. Her current best friend is a 50 pound Rottweiler and she is non-reactive to him and adores him! She isn’t one that needs a TON of exercise, but some time to run around and play a couple times a day, or even a walk, would make her sooooo happy! She also loves the cool weather and laying outside on her cot taking a snooze. She even does very well on a leash and uses the doggy door like a champ. She is a bit skittish though with new people and will bark, so if somebody new were to approach her and try to pet her, she will back up and bark. Once she knows people though and has been given 5 or so minutes with them (with them fully ignoring her and letting her go at her own pace) she’s then their best friend. She especially LOVES men. Although she’s been around little kids, she’s not great with them. She fully and truly thinks she’s 5 pounds and throws her body around as such. She is true to her breed in that she leans on people she loves and this is her way of hugging, but that easily can knock over a little one or hurt them, so we are asking she go to a home with either no kids or older kids. She would definitely benefit from an owner who is loving but firm with her as she is the queen at trying to do things she knows she’s not allowed to do, so someone who can set firm boundaries is a must. Apartment living is NOT for Ruby. Ruby is spayed, up to date on her shots and has been heart worm tested (negative.) She has had some flare up allergies recently, but they were just seasonal allergies and she was prescribed some oral apoquel and did great! This is not a medication she needs year long. Given her XL size, her bones and body do need that extra care and nourishment to make sure she lives a long, pain free, and happy life, so taking on a dog this size isn’t a cheap decision. She deserves and requires good and healthy foods and supplements. Ruby will require a home visit and to meet potential male furry siblings. Everybody who meets Ruby falls in love with her, will you love her too? ##2058863##If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ruby, please reach out to the adoption group directly.
