Story
Ruby is currently one of EHS's longest residents and would love to find her new family soon! To help, her adoption fee has been fully sponsored by generous donors!Hi there! I'm Ruby, a sweet and loyal German Shepherd. I can be a bit shy when I first meet you, but don't worry-I just need some time to get comfortable. A few treats and some patience go a long way, and soon I'll be your best buddy. I absolutely love playing fetch! Throw me a ball, and I'll chase it down with all the energy I have, bringing it back to you for more fun. But after a long day of playing, I'm all about cuddles. Nothing beats snuggling up with my humans and relaxing together. I'm always up for an adventure, but I also know how to enjoy some quiet time with the people I love. If you're looking for a playful yet affectionate companion, I'm your girl! Let's make some memories together.https://youtu.be/-iWs83cId3Yhttps://youtu.be/Uy2Zuae9eGA Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 31.1 Age: 2yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Bank is a 3-year-old white Jindo Mix with an affectionate personality. He is very fond of people and gets along well with children and adults alike, and he most enjoys being loved by people. Bank also gets along well with other dogs and loves to run around and play with them. However, he has a strong curiosity towards cats, so a cat-free home is more suitable for him. Bank has very little separation anxiety. He is also well behaved on car rides and very much enjoys them. He would be a very good fit for frequent travelers and active families. Bank is fully potty trained and only relieves himself outdoors. He is also very good during bath time and will even let you brush his teeth! 😃 Bank loves to go for walks. On his first walk with us, his excitement level was so high that he pulled on his leash. Since we started his training, he has shown significant improvement and now his concentration has improved to the point where he can make eye contact while walking. Bank is looking for his forever home where he can share warm love with his new family. He has a neat personality and would love for you to be part of the vibrant and loving Bank family.
