Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATED BIO 1/10/2014: Ruby is a sweet little fuzzy 5 lb 6-7 year (corrected age) old girl who is being fostered in The Villages, FL. She has surrendered by her owner to a high-kill shelter with severe dry eye that was left untreated. When Ruby came to her foster home, she could hardly see. Her eyes were so caked with gunk that she formed an ulcer on her left eye. She has made incredible strides. Her ulcer is healing. Her eye ointments and drops are working. She can see so much better and we are expecting it to only continue to improve.
Ruby was very nervous around her FM when she came into rescue. She was scared to even have her eye drops administered, probably because of the pain she was experiencing. She is now a much happier girlie who seeks affection, and is playing with toys. She potties outside or on pads (most of the time). She is just a doll baby who needs TLC and a second chance at a happy life :) . PLEASE NOTE: Ruby is a very sweet and lovable little girl; however, because she is part Chihuahua, she does tend to bond to one person and has some guarding behavior if she is with that one person and others approach. Her adopters will need to be willing to continue to work with her on this issue, as this is not a positive behavior trait. (We are working with her in the foster home, as well.) She is also a very small yorkie, and with the guarding issue, it is probably best that she not be in the home with children under the age of 14 years old.
