Ruby
is
an
energetic
dog.
She
loves
nothing
better
than
chasing
balls,
playing
and
going
to
the
park.
She
loves
going
for
walks,
even
if
it’s
just
down
to
the
local
store
she
isn’t
fussed
about
where
her
owners
take
her
as
long
as
they
take
her.
This
is
her
life
now,
but
it
wasn’t
always
so
good.
For
the
first
few
months
of
her
life,
she
never
knew
what
it
was
like
to
run
in
a
park
or
fetch
a
ball.
Ruby
is
a
two-year-old
Golden
Retriever
who
was
the
runt
of
her
litter.
Both
of
her
parents
were
show
dogs
who
had
won
all
sorts
of
events,
but
Ruby
didn’t
make
the
grade.
She
was
too
small
and
because
of
this,
neither
the
owner
of
her
mother
or
father
wanted
her.
She
found
herself
being
taken
away
from
her
mother
and
placed
in
a
shelter
where
she
spent
many
months
waiting
for
someone
to
take
her
away
and
look
after
her.
Luckily
one
day
a
family
turned
up
who
instantly
fell
in
love
with
her
and
have
given
her
the
chance
of
a
new
and
happy
life.
Unfortunately
Ruby’s
story
is
not
a
one
off.
Thousands
of
dogs
all
across
the
country
find
themselves
abandoned
and
in
need
of
a
new
home.
Luckily
Ruby
was
not
subjected
to
any
abuse,
but
many
are.
If
a
dog
is
not
adopted,
they
are
likely
to
spend
the
rest
of
their
life
in
a
shelter
never
knowing
what
its
like
to
run
in
a
park
or
be
loved.
Those
that
cannot
be
adopted
are
euthanized.
There
are
many
reasons
why
dogs
end
up
in
shelters,
but
common
ones
are:
unwanted
pets,
lost
dogs,
owners
who
have
died
and
those
that
are
victims
of
abuse.
Many
of
these
dogs
still
have
many
years
left
and
would
love
nothing
better
than
to
be
given
a
new
lease
of
life
and
simply
want
to
be
loved.
The
thought
of
dog
adoption
from
a
shelter
may
be
off-putting
for
some
people
for
fear
of
the
animal
having
health
or
behavioral
problems.
It
is
true
that
some
dogs
may
have
problems
as
a
result
of
abuse
or
neglect,
but
not
all
dogs
do
and
those
that
do
suffer
with
problems
can
be
helped
and
re-trained
once
trust
has
been
established.
It
is
recommended
that
you
ask
questions
about
the
dog
you
have
in
mind
before
you
adopt
to
see
if
there
are
any
potential
problems.
Most
dogs
will
not
be
allowed
to
leave
the
shelter
until
all
illnesses
have
been
treated.
All
information
about
the
treatment
of
any
chronic
illnesses
is
fully
explained
to
the
new
owner.
It
is
worth
taking
a
trip
to
your
local
shelter
if
you
or
anyone
you
know
is
looking
for
a
new
dog
as
adopting
an
animal;
it
is
a
lot
cheaper
and
also
a
lot
more
rewarding.
If
you
would
like
to
begin
the
process
of
dog
adoption,
a
good
place
to
start
is
to
visit
a
website
such
as
PetFinder.com
where
you
can
find
a
wealth
of
information
and
possible
adoptees.
