Ruby's Story
Meet Ruby! This tiny gal transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society.<br/>Upon arrival, Ruby was skittish, hiding under her sling bed, not interested in food, and was in pure flight mode. <br/>She learned the routine fairly quickly. She was going in and out of her kennel, eating, playing with her friends, and cautiously sniffing the staff.<br/>When all her friends are clamoring around us for attention, Ruby will excitedly approach us, wag her tail, and then return to going about her business. <br/>Ruby is a sweet, shy little girl, so we are taking baby steps to ensure she feels as safe as can be. She is like a cat in that we can give her a little love on her terms. We can give her a few chest scritches, some belly rubs, and she will give us some sweet licks before she's finished and moving on to continue her day. Progress was slow but finally happened! <br/>Ruby is well respected amongst her fellow rescue friends, is known to nip misbehavior in the bud, can rough and tumble during playtime, and loves to give her friends tons of kisses! <br/><br/>Behavioral considerations: As mentioned above, staff are able to solicit physical attention on Ruby's terms. For vet visits, we can easily scoop her up. She relaxes into our arms or snuggles into our shoulder when in the waiting room. <br/>A patient and compassionate home for our shy gal is where she will flourish.<br/><br/>Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
