Story
Ruby is a sweet and tenderhearted little dog who is about 3 years old and weighs 22 pounds. She does have a warm-up period when meeting new people. Once she knows you will be kind to her, she loves to get attention and affection. She was found starving on a rooftop. Coming from the environment she was in previously, it is apparent that she wasn’t handled very much so she just needs a few minutes to know that she is in a safe space. She gets along well with the other dogs here at the rescue. She would do best in a calm and patient home where she can get acclimated to her new surroundings and learn to trust. She is a wonderful dog who just wants a family to call her own! Ruby is located in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to Geneva, IL on October 18th for Gotcha Day with approved application and confirmed adoption! She is spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped and her adoption fee is $450. The fee includes the transport cost. If you would like to add this tender cutie to your family, please review our process and complete an application here - https://www.tracyspawsrescue.org/adopt Learn more about our rescue here: https://www.facebook.com/TracysPawsRescue Services our dogs receive prior to adoption: Chagas Testing Heartworm and Tick Testing (age appropriate) All age-appropriate vaccines Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives Spay/neuter surgery Microchip *The breed(s) listed are guessed and based on the dog's physical appearance* Ruby tested positive for heartworms and has been treated..

Story
Hi, I’m Chi, who was rescued from the streets of Qatar. I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once you’ve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), I’m all in for cuddles and goofy play. I’m great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and I’ve been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, I’m a gentleman in a tux. If you’re the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, I’ve got your back (and your couch). I'm still in Qatar but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I can't wait to meet you!
