Ruby's Story

MEET RUBY — READY FOR HER FOREVER HOME<br/><br/>Ruby is proof that dogs don’t hold onto the past the way we do. This beautiful 50-pound Shepherd mix came to us in heartbreaking condition after what appears to have been years of neglect. Her coat and body told the story of a dog who had been overlooked for far too long, likely spending much of her life outside without nearly enough love, attention or care.<br/><br/>Thankfully, that chapter is behind her.<br/><br/>Ruby is incredibly resilient, forgiving and genuinely one of the happiest girls. She loves everyone she meets, big or small, and is gentle, affectionate and eager to bond with her people. She is extremely food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding.<br/><br/>Ruby currently lives with both dogs and cats in her foster home and is doing wonderfully. She’s making great progress with house and crate training, loves riding in the car and will happily follow you from room to room if you let her. She really just wants to be included.<br/><br/>At 50 pounds, she’s the perfect medium size — big enough for adventures but small enough to fit right into your everyday life.<br/><br/>Ruby was recently spayed and is officially ready for adoption. Her beautiful coat is still growing back and will continue filling in with time. We can only imagine how gorgeous she’ll be on the outside once it catches up with how beautiful she already is on the inside.<br/><br/>Ruby likely spent years being someone’s backyard dog. We want the rest of her life to look completely different. We want her inside, included, spoiled, taken on adventures and sleeping comfortably every night knowing she finally belongs.<br/><br/>She has so many wonderful years ahead of her. After everything she has endured, Ruby deserves to spend every one of them knowing what it feels like to be someone’s family.<br/><br/>Ruby survived the life she had. Now we’re looking for the person who will give her the life she deserves.<br/><br/>Please share Ruby and help us find her forever home.<br/><br/>Adoption fee is 300

Underdog Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for reading about our awesome dogs. All dogs came to us from different situations and we often do not know much about their past, but they are rescue dogs who deserve a second chance and need patience on their journey. All of our dogs our are in foster homes all across the bay area. The first step of the process is you must submit an application in order to set up a meet and great or talk with the foster family. Once application is submitted the foster parents will contact you to chat more about the dog and make sure they're a good fit and can answer any further question. The application answers most of all of our questions and can best match you. If you do not get the dog you apply for we can use your same application for 90 days towards another dog in our care and simply forward your app to that foster parent. **Reminder we are all volunteers working hard to save these dogs, some dogs may receive 20+ application to all be reviewed. We do our best to respond to all apps as we can. Please be patient and feel free to send us a follow up email if needed. http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application All dogs will be fully vetted (Spay/ Neutered, Micro chipped, DHPP and Rabies Vaccinated) and other possible vet care prior to adoption. The adoption fees vary by animal and are considered a non refundable donation Visit us at www.underdogca.com or follow us on IG@underdoganimalrescueca https://www.facebook.com/underdogCA A little more about us: Underdog Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue serving the Bay Area of Northern California. Since our start in 2014, we have built an outstanding team and have grown into a strong network of volunteers dedicated to saving the Underdogs in our shelters and community. We have dedicated our efforts to giving a second chance to the dogs that are most in need (medically or behaviorally) and the dogs that have been overlooked for too long. As a foster based rescue, Underdog places dogs in temporary foster homes where they can decompress and get the love and affection that they need. Dogs are also vaccinated, spayed/neutered and receive any other medical treatment needed before finding their forever home. Rescue is undoubtedly hard and trying work but it is entirely worth it to see the life of a dog saved. As a rescue, we believe it is our duty to save the dogs that really need our help; the dogs that need a little TLC, a little medical care, or just someone to believe in them again. This is why we save the dogs that are on their last days at the shelter or haven't even been given a chance to be adopted by the public. As much as we love those sweet puppy eyes, we think more of saving their mommy’s and daddy’s that have been shoved to the back of the shelter awaiting their fate. Thank you for seeing what we do and loving us for it. It’s only because of our outstanding community, foster families and volunteers that we are able to continue our efforts.
