Story
December update: Ruby has lost 12 lbs.! Her foster mom only has good things to say about her and that someone is missing out on a great companion to share their life with!
Ruby update on Sept. 20th from her foster mom: Need a Netflix & Chill partner? Someone to look at you adoringly? Keep you warm on those chilly Fall evenings? Ruby is your girl! Ruby joined her foster home pack a few weeks ago and here is what her foster mom has to say about her: “She has been a complete pleasure. She is jovial, sweet, quiet, polite, and just happy to be. Ruby is a corgi mix (medium in size), 8 years old and a tad overweight but we are working on that, and she’s already lost weight! She is not your typical 8 year old dog for sure. She is very smart and observant and quickly picked up the daily routine. She readily welcomes our array of cast of canine characters and engages in play. She is quite strong on leash, so will need work with that, but otherwise, she is great! This poor baby girl lost her mama, when she had to enter an assisted living facility, no one in the family stepped up to care for Ruby. She was beyond scared and unhappy upon entering our shelter, that’s when my pack and I stepped in. Ruby gets along wonderfully with people, dogs & cats. She is a perfect companion and just loves her lovins! 😊
Ruby update from her foster mom: This girl is just that, very sweet and quiet. Ruby likes to hang with her human, canine & feline friends. She does not need a crate & prefers to laze near her humans. She does need work on her leash skills as she does pull. We are working on her weight loss in her foster home. Ruby is just a really happy low key gal and no doubt she will be happier when she gets down to a healthier weight❤️
Ruby arrived at NCCR on 8/28/24, taken in when her owner could no longer care for her. She is an approximately 8-year-old spayed female mixed breed. Ruby weighs in at a whopping 78.5 lbs. and is in desperate need of weight loss and exercise. Unfortunately, she was not receiving much, if any, activity in her previous home, and was being fed far too many treats. We’re told that Ruby gets along well with most other dogs, prefers to sleep in a crate at night, and likes all the people she meets. She is hoping to be adopted by a family that can help her meet her weight loss goals, and who is home most of the time, as she does not like to be left alone for long. Ruby is house trained, walks well on a leash but sometimes pulls, and she knows several basic commands. If you’re looking for an exercise buddy and constant companion, Ruby might be your girl!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
