Sweet Ruby arrived at the San Jose Animal Care Center in January very thin, with long nails, worn and broken teeth, masses on her body, weak and painful hips, infected ears and covered in dirt. We have no idea what happened to Ruby, but we are grateful to the shelter for getting her cleaned up and assessing her needs. We are also grateful to the shelter volunteers who showered Ruby with love during her stay. In August, Ruby moved to a shelter foster home where she began the slow work of decompressing and relaxing after her long shelter stay. Thankfully, her shelter foster also happens to be an SVPP foster, and she recognized the need to get Ruby additional medical care. Thanks to our amazing supporters and her foster mom, Ruby is now an SVPP foster dog and she will get the best care our veterinary team can provide. We don't yet know all that Ruby will need, but we are honored to be able to help this resilient and special dog.
