RE-INTRODUCING our RUBY DOO That smile. Seriously... how could you not fall in love with that face?! Ruby originally came to us from the amazing @streethearts.project — a rescue we greatly admire. About a year ago, we thought she had found her forever family. Unfortunately, she wasn't the right fit and after almost a year she was returned back to us.. Ruby is a young adult herding breed mix, and dogs like her need exercise, structure, training, socialization and outlets for those busy brains. She missed out on some of that during really important months and came back to us needing quite a bit of work. Since then, we have invested a LOT into this girl. Ruby completed a training program and is now fostered with one of our amazing foster coordinators, Barbara who continues working with her every day. And she is making progress! Is Ruby perfect? Nope. But honestly, who is? She IS happy, smart, adorable and always smiling. She just needs the RIGHT person. Someone dog savvy, active and ideally experienced with herding breeds. Someone who understands that Ruby needs continued structure, exercise, training and healthy outlets for her drive, along with plenty of love. Ruby isn't looking for a home where she'll simply exist. She's looking for someone who will DO life with her. PLEASE SHARE RUBY DOO. Her person has to be out there.
