So, Ruby (Pictures:

neophobic nor I had the heart to take her into a shelter, so she's been staying with us.
That said, Ruby still needs a home. Either a foster home or a permanent home will do. After getting to know her, I'd have to say she'd be a perfect first dog for someone. She's housebroken, loving, protective (without being aggressive), gets along with other dogs, and really is just a perfect dog. We think she's a ridgeback mix (
neophobic says she's seen a ridge along her back when she's outside playing with Marzipan), and she just has a great temperament.
Anyway, if you know anyone who might be looking to add a furry body to their household, please let them know about Ruby. They're almost certain to love her.
