Ruby at foster home. Tiny, but she will grow.
Crouching stance: Ruby prepared to bolt and prance about the garden.
Perched: somehow, our gal found her way to the narrow space on top of the car seats.
Feb. 28, 2007.
We brought Ruby from the vet's to a foster home where she'll be taken care of and begin a life of domesticity. From the rubbish dump of the workers' quarters to a duplex with a nice lawn adorned with a koi pond and shrubs: Ruby is making progress.
Thankfully.
And we are grateful that L has stepped forward to offer her experiences with fostering dogs and a decent shelter where Ruby will no longer worry about foraginig for food or risk being hurled into a rubbish chute, just because, she was hungry.Our caregiver informed that when Ruby was first discovered, she was about three weeks old and in an emaciated state -- unpromising for a puppy. Ruby disappeared for a few weeks and all hopes in seeing her, let alone rescuing her, were dashed. By a stroke of luck, she reappeared some time later, much grown up, in the midst of construction workers who were shooing her away while they ate their meals.
Ruby is about four to five months old, sterilised and microchipped. Rather than merely "meek" -- as we came to realise -- she's perhaps lower in the pack order. But combined with her ultra-sweetness, her puppy-playfulness is a joy to behold. Ruby makes your heart go soft.
Because she has every potential to be a perfect family companion, we are looking for a good family for Ruby. Ultimately, we believe she should go to a good home.
Also, if you'd like to contribute to maintaining Ruby's daily well-being, please email projectjkteam@yahoo.com.sg
Donations will be channelled to Ruby's medical fees and costs for her foster care. For those who have enquired about Ruby and contributed to part of the costs for the rescue and rehabilitation work, we thank you for opening your heart to the possibility of Ruby's spiriting transformation that is lighting up hope in the eyes of all dog activists.
