Introducing Ruby 🌟, a delightful 7-year-old medium-sized pup who radiates warmth and love, born in the glorious land of Zambezia! This precious soul has a passion for lounging in sunbeams ☀️ and will promise to bring a spark of joy to any home. Ruby is an expert communicator! With a touch of charm, he’ll inform you when it’s time for a walk 🏞️, a treat 🍖, or a cozy snuggle 🤗. Once you earn his trust, you won’t just gain a pet; you’ll have a devoted companion who’s ready to hike the trails with you! 🚶‍♂️ Now, let’s talk about his remarkable journey. Once a slightly anxious pup (who wouldn't be, transitioning from Africa to the lively energy of NYC?), he has blossomed into a confident furry friend, strutting down the street with pride! 🌆 However, he has been living in a challenging environment with a toddler—sometimes this beautiful boy finds the excitement stressful. Ruby does have some past fear-based resource guarding, but he’s faced it head-on and is a true success story with the right training behind him. This adorably protective doggo can be a gentle giant on walks, remaining calm and friendly with other dogs. But here’s the scoop on Ruby's ideal forever home: it’s an *adult-only zone*—he thrives in an environment that helps manage his previous puppy heartbreaks with understanding and gentleness. Ruby needs experienced humans who can provide the calm leadership he craves. 👩‍👦‍👦🧘 Enough excitement can lead to stress, so a quiet, predictable routine is essential! 🌈 His home sweet home would have no other pets to ensure a peaceful life that’s all about him. Plus, with every adoption, you get 3 free training sessions to keep the momentum going! 🎉 Don’t forget, all his cherished belongings are included too! So if you're ready to open your heart and have a calming influence in Ruby's life, it’s time to act! Remember, you must apply through the Buddy App to make this love story a reality. Let’s find this beautiful soul his forever home! ❤️
