Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ruby is a 7-month-old shepherd/Lab mix. Along with her brother Cash, Ruby came to us from a horrible situation where she lived in a crate outside and had to compete for food with her siblings. As you can imagine, she was dirty, smelly, and malnourished. Ruby was a little hesitant at first but quickly warmed up to the humans and dogs in her foster home. Ruby has put on weight nicely and is learning her manners. She is also doing well with her potty training. Ruby attaches quickly and will follow her human anywhere. She also gets along well with other dogs, big and small.
Animal Rescue Recon makes sure that each dog is current on its vaccinations, has been or will be spayed or neutered, and is microchipped to help keep pets out of the shelters and get them back home where they belong.
