Ruby
My name is Ruby and I am just as precious as the gem stone. I
get compliments all the time for how sweet and calm I am—as a good girl
should. I love to make a good impression.
 At home that can be a different story. You see I’m just
getting a taste of freedom and this thing called home. I’ve never had this
before. I was rescued from a puppy mill where I was kept in a small crate
all day and night for the 3 ½ yrs of my life. Life on the outside is much
better.
I’ve already learned so much and I keep learning more. I
enjoy playing with the resident dogs and I think I may have taught them a
thing or two. My foster mom says I’m a fast learner; although I think she is
keeping me from learning a few things—like how to get up on the furniture.
She only showed me how to climb on the ottoman to look out the
window—everything else is too high. I just think she doesn’t want me jumping
into the bed at night. That’s fine by me—I sleep next to the bed on the
floor and I get to be the first one to wake her up in the morning with happy
tail wags!
Having a family is so nice. I enjoy going for walks with
my foster family—I even walk better than the resident basenji. I also ride
nice in the car. I’m really happy when my foster parents come home from
work. My foster mom says I look like Frankenstein because I stand on my hind
legs and flail my front legs in the air. I can’t help it—I’m just so happy
to see them! They’ve been so patient with me as I learn what it is like to
be a family dog and that is what I’m looking for in my forever home. I’m a
real easy-going girl just looking for the right family. I’ll need you to be
patient with me as I adjust to my new surroundings but I promise to be a
great addition to your family—unconditional love and all.
If you think you could provide Ruby with love, activity, and evening
cuddle-time, please read the data sheet below carefully, complete
the BRAT
adoption form (if you have not previously done so)
and contact BRAT coordinator,
Elizabeth P. Schmidt. The coordinator's link will take you to a form that will
ask you your name, e-mail address, the city and state you live in, why this dog is perfect for your family, a
typical day in your household, and, if applicable, how you plan to
transport the dog. |
