Australian Kelpie x German Shepherd Female Dog for Adoption in Oregon

About Ruby

Ruby is a 40 lb, female spayed, 3 year old cattle dog mix. We adopted her when she was about a year old. She is very sweet and loves adults. She has been fond of my son and has slept in bed with him for the last year and a half. She’s healthy and gets along with my boxer. We have 2 cats and she chases them, but, as our cats are quite dog experienced, she also kind of fears them. She is a cattle dog, so she talks back. She likes it best when everyone is together. She can also be a bit mouthy. As with most cattle dogs, hierarchy is important, and she gets a little jealous of the other dog when he gets attention. We are looking for a good, active, adult home for her with plenty of room to run. She is a good dog, but needs the right family, preferably a home without children. This was not an easy decision, but it is what we feel is best for her. Thank you for considering her.
