Ruby is about 8 months old and part Belgian Malinois, with a short yellow, tan, and black coat. She’s young and still learning to trust people, so she tends to be timid in new situations and needs time to find her footing. Ruby enjoys playing with toys—play helps her build confidence and connect with her humans—but new experiences can feel overwhelming for her, likely due to limited early socialization. She’s working on learning appropriate social skills with other dogs and would do best in a home that can help her adjust at her own pace. Ruby would benefit from living with older, respectful children who understand she needs space and gentle guidance as she settles in. She might also thrive with a confident canine companion who can show her the routine. Ruby needs a patient adopter ready to invest time in helping her feel safe. Under her shy demeanor is a sweet, eager dog who just needs a little help to blossom. House training status is unknown since most animals here are strays, but she’s young and adaptable.
