Personal Secretary
Adopt Ruby
Girl • 7 years old • Aries • Red-brown • 5kg • Red Poodle
My story
Ruby is an adorable Red Poodle who captures the heart immediately. It’s hard to believe this sweet girl was recently found wandering the streets before being brought to the Neihu Animal Shelter following a public report. In November 2025, she was evaluated by a PACK assessor and welcomed into the PACK Academy.By nature, Ruby is cautious and slow to warm up, needing time and patience to build a sense of security. However, once she opens up, she reveals her true self: an extremely clingy, people-loving companion who wholeheartedly accepts full-body petting and gentle guidance, and follows her owner around like a little secretary. She is also stable and friendly with other dogs, easily interacting with them and often quickly cuddling up for warmth.This lovable slow-to-warm-up cuddlebug is now eagerly awaiting a forever home that can offer her a lifetime of complete security and unwavering love.
Personality
Ruby is an extremely clingy cuddlebug who craves attention and companionship, often wanting to sit on your lap and showing affection through enthusiastic licking. She is highly social and curious about both dogs and cats.As a dog who absolutely needs human presence and strongly dislikes being alone, she will require a family with patience to guide her through separation training. Fortunately, being highly food-motivated makes treats the perfect incentive for her training.Ruby is a slow-to-warm-up yet inwardly passionate companion, seeking a warm family that can fully understand and satisfy her intense need for affection.

Foster Family Says
Upon her arrival at the foster home, she naturally jumped onto the sofa and chairs but was obedient when redirected.

My Behavior
1
Tolerance Levels
At PACK Academy, we socialize our dogs by exposing them to different stimuli and recording their tolerance levels for each one. These oservations help us understand the dogs better, which then helps us find suitable homes for them.
Strangers
Cautious and slow to warm up, she may retreat from sudden touch, but relaxes and accepts interaction after just a few minutes.
Dogs
She is interested in other dogs and actively observes and interacts with them.
Cats
She is also interested in cats and other animals, often approaching them gently to get acquainted.
Kids
Ruby tends to dodge running or jumping children, and like with strangers, she needs time to become familiar and relax.
Noise
She is easily startled by sudden noises, especially unfamiliar sounds, but she adapts relatively quickly.
Touch
She loves physical contact, craves to be touched, and wants to sit on laps.

Behavior observations
There are some common behavior issues that we see in dogs who have spent a significant amount of time in a shelter. We assess our dogs for these behaviors and provide training plans for adopters to help manage them.
Barking
She is generally non-vocal, rarely barking and perhaps only emitting a few sounds when highly excited or inviting the owner to play.
Separation Anxiety
She does exhibit some separation-related anxiety; her response is often dependent on the owner's daily approach, where she may wait attentively by the door without any destructive barking or scratching. The primary concern is the potential for accidental messes, as she may inadvertently step in her waste before fully mastering designated indoor potty training.
Aggression
No aggression.
Resource Guarding
No resource guarding over food or possessions.
Destructive Chewing
There is, however, mild destructive behavior, which includes chewing on items like paper and pillows when she is left alone.

Obedience Training
Obedience training is critical for nurturing healthy dog-human relationships and having a well-behaving dog. Our dogs receive basic training at PACK Academy, which provides a foundation for communication between dog and human.
