National dog adoption website, DogsBlog.com celebrates the rehoming of dog no 6,000 with the successful placement of Ruby in to a new, loving home.DogsBlog.com launched in January 2007 and has quickly captured the imagination of people seeking to rehome a shelter dog.

The site provides a ‘virtual window’ in to the kennels of thousands of dogs available for rehoming and adoption.

Ruby, an English Bull Terrier cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier has made quite an impression on her new owners, The Marcantel family, who say:

We started off just looking for rescue centres as near to us as pos, there were so many dogs that we could have taken home but there’s always something in a dogs eyes for me.

After finding DogsBlog I saw Ruby and saw that she had something special or different about her. DogsBlog just seemed to have an organised, professional and genuinely caring home for dogs, it was one of a couple we looked at but we just kept going back to DogsBlog. The site was kept up to date and was easy to contact and everyday there was new dogs on line.

Jane says, the rest of the family hadn’t really looked at Ruby properly because they all had their own ideas of the type of dog they wanted, but once they saw Ruby we all agreed she just seemed the right dog for us.

Ruby was timid and very shy of us, and we’d prepared ourselves for a few days of whatever she’d throw at us, but as soon as she got in the car she fell asleep on the back seat with my two boys and she seemed to bond with them there and then, at home she quietly sniffed about and wouldn’t go out in the garden, we took her out for a walk the next morn and she was happy with the kids but very wary of us adults – two days later she wagged her tail and it all went on from there.

She’s now running around in the garden, she has great recall in the park and has actually sniffed a couple of dogs (she was very reluctant to let any get near her) she wags her tail madly when we get up in the morn, and is the most beautiful girl with a brilliant temperament and personality and that with time, patience and loads of strokes she will absolutely thrive!

Thanks again.
