Story
Ruby is the sister of Desparado and Brandy, a beautiful female, a mix of a border collie and black mouth cur.  She has a reddish coat with a black mouth.  Ruby is very shy and will require a fenced yard and a lot of attention to make her feel safe and secure.  She is house broken and socializedwith dogs but is afraid of humans.  She came into Lost Dogs Run with a gunshot wound.  She had been shot with a high powered rifle (vet thought it was a 30/06) and the bullet went through both back legs and shattered the tibia in one of them.  Rather than amputate, a splint was put on, and the bone fragments by some miracle grew back together and now she runs and walks without a limp.  She needs a good home.  The picture shows her on 4-13-25 when she was recovering from the gunshot wound.August 15, 2025, 10:06 pm

Story
Rubix is such a sweet pup. He loves attention, loves his playtime with his buddy and is "over the moon cute". Well mannered, already house trained and would be a perfect addition to a loving family. Rubix would be a great partner for hikes, camping and just "hanging out". A volunteer favorite, we are all shocked he hasn't found his forever, loving home. A home with a fenced yard would be great for this active fun pup.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved. Due to the high volume of applications received, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.
