Rubin is a young adult German Shepherd living in a foster home setting in Montgomery, AL. He is anxious around new people and finds changes in his routine unsettling, so he’s best suited for someone with a quiet lifestyle. Rubin adores the water, making him an ideal sidekick for anyone with lake access. He’s sweet and smart, but progress with his anxiety will be ongoing—patient socialization and gradual exposure to new environments are crucial for him. Rubin gets along well with other dogs, both large and small, though he can play rough at times and may test his canine pals. He’s generally respectful in the home, though he can be tempted by leftover food if it’s in reach. He's improving with car rides but still working through those nerves. Rubin is a people dog at heart and tends to lend his voice loudly if other dogs need something. He’s goofy and brings a sense of humor to daily life, so he’s best matched with someone who appreciates both laughter and steady patience. Rubin isn’t good with cats and isn’t a fit for a home with them. Ready to bring out his best? Your calm presence and low-key environment can help Rubin’s confidence grow. Start your journey together!
