RUBY takes up a big space in my heart ❤️.
I was at Blackdog Pet Resort when she, Annie (Angel), and Cody were dropped off. One at a time, they were on leash from the car. Terrified, flailing and diarrheaing while trying to get them inside. It was heartbreaking. I stayed in the yard while the 3 of them calmed from the transport. If you made a move or tried to get close, they darted away. I decided to sit and turn my back on them, to appear less "scary". Ruby slowly inched her way over to me and poked me with her nose. The first pic is of her from over my shoulder. You can see how matted she was and covered in f***s and urine.
John, Virginia and I shaved down and cleaned up the three. I had the chance to visit Ruby a few times before she went into foster care. Slowly she learned to trust again and is now adopted into a wonderful home.
What's even more amazing (for me) is I've had the opportunity to groom her since then. She's still timid, but is coming out of her shell. Yes I cried the first time I groomed her in my shop, thinking of where she came from to where she is now. Again, another story of such love from humans who stepped up and rescued a beautiful soul.
Happy Valentine's Day sweet girl ❤️. You are so loved!
