On January 19th Ruby crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Cancer had taken over, and there was nothing more that could be done for her. Thank you to Ruby’s foster family who showed her what true love was and made her last days the best days of her life.
Ruby’s spirit will never be forgotten. “An Angel got her wings”

Ruby Update 9/19/11:
Ruby has become a favorite at Care Animal Hospital. She quickly became the resident mascot dog. She is adored by all and greets everyone with wags and kisses. She has recovered from two surgeries to remove the mass on her chest and is doing great. No one ever told her she was given a bad start in life! She is a happy, happy dog that loves life and has a very positive attitude. She always sees the glass half full. Lots of people could take a lesson from her. Ruby has touched the hearts of many along the way. You can’t help but to smile when you see her joyfully bouncing after a toy or ball. She makes you feel good inside. Ruby would love nothing more than to find her forever home and share all the joy that she has in her heart with a very lucky forever family.

Ruby, a beautiful 3-4 year old, 65 pound chocolate lab, is where it all started for most of the current labs of Placing Paws. Most of you know Ebony’s story, well, meet Ebony’s mom. These poor dogs lived on the property of a very irresponsible pet owner and they are all descendants of Ruby. They lived outside with little if any shelter, food and water.
Placing Paws Rescued Ruby’s two daughters, Ebony and Dani. Ebony came to us pregnant and 30 minutes after arriving, she had her current litter. We also took in Sergio, now Hobie, who is also Ebony’s son from a previous litter. Rocky and Adrian are both Dani’s pups. All of these dogs are young and healthy and very adoptable. The last poor soul left on the property was Ruby.
Often times the poor mamma is left behind. RUBY WAS NOT LEFT BEHIND BY PLACING PAWS!!!

In Ancient cultures Ruby was associated with the protection of heart and digestive systems. Ruby has long been associated with passionate love, the love that Ruby has felt for her children and her children’s children. Only second to the diamond, Ruby is the strongest stone as is our Ruby, strong and loving…
Despite the extreme neglect that Ruby endured resulting in pain and suffering, she loves everyone!!! Ruby loves attention and greets everyone with a wagging tail, eager for affection. She is such a sweet and gentle soul, allowing the vet to examine
her with never as much as a complaint.
Her time spent outside has left her skin in very poor condition with resulting hair loss and severe infection. She has several masses on her body that are thought to be from the prolonged untreated infection. She will need a chest x-ray to determine the extent of the masses. Several skin scrapes have already been done and she will need more as time goes on. She has a large mass on her chest that will have to be removed. Her ears are also suffering from severe infection that is currently being treated.
When she is healthy enough, she will have to be spayed and then heartworm treated as she tested positive. She is also on several medications and will need special food to help her skin. It is impossible to know how much her bill will be when all is said and done, but we do know that it will be A LOT!
