My story

Meet Ruby – A Heart Full of HopeWhen Ruby first arrived at the shelter, she was underweight, and missing patches of her fur. But even then, her eyes told a story of hope. With each passing day, and a little love, good food, and medicated baths, Ruby is blossoming into the dog she was always meant to be — radiant, playful, and full of heart.Ruby is an affectionate soul who adores people. She doesn’t just enjoy attention — she seeks it out, always checking in with her favorite humans to make sure they’re near. And as Ruby begins to feel safe, her silly, mischievous side is starting to shine. She’s been caught trying to sneak extra treats and has a talent for flipping her empty food bowl upside down — a gentle protest for seconds. Her antics bring laughter to the kennels, a reminder of how far she’s come.Ruby doesn’t like to be alone, and we can’t blame her — she’s a social girl through and through. One volunteer shared how Ruby will eat her meals only if someone is nearby, content to munch away while they do the dishes. It’s those quiet, shared moments that mean the most to her.Ruby is still healing — body and soul — but she’s ready to love and be loved. If you’re looking for a loyal, and deeply affectionate companion, Ruby is waiting. Come meet her, and let her change your life the way she’s changed ours. Ruby has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.
