Dear GLDR Supporters,

175 DAYS…. that’s how long it’s been without a single application-NOT ONE! What’s the deal? Being unwanted for so long is something no dog should have to go through 😞

As much as I love my friends here at the rescue, what I need is a FOSTER or a HOME! The days are getting harder to get through and I’m wondering if there’s anyone out there that will give me a chance?

As a reminder, I’m a year and a half terrier mix and around 40 pounds. I’d do best with an experienced adopter who lives with adults or kids 16+. No other pets please at this time. I’m house & crate-trained! I’ve got a lot of pent up energy currently, but some time away will do me a world of good!

I’m looking for a patient, loving home who will work with me and make me a treasured member of their family.

Please consider opening your heart and home to me! Even if you’re not currently looking, please share my info so my future family sees it!

❤️ Love, Ruby
