ENERGY LEVEL: Ruby’s previous owner described her as playful. In the care center, she displays a medium level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Due to Ruby’s bite history, we recommend an adult only home. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Ruby has bitten when in a situation where she was afraid. This behavior could occur in times of high stress. At the care center, she has displays social behavior with all handlers. It is important to always go slow and give Ruby the option to walk away from any social interaction. Ruby should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Ruby’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Ruby would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings
