I have this beautiful girl in foster with me,she does’nt know how to play,does’nt know what a toy is.She’s very skinny and eats her food like its the last meal she will have.
Monty is keeping his distance from her for now as he knows shes terrified.She hasn’t had much affection and it shows,but I would like to say she is so pretty,chocolate brown colour and the most beautiful brown eyes that would melt your heart.
She will soon put on weight and come out of her shell .

Wow
Well done Tracy, that terrified look is gone already and I know with all your good care she will be a normal little puppy very soon ![]()
Rubys first night went good,she started to wag her tail a little bit which is lovely to see. Still scared of Monty so they just keep their distance from each other but Im sure after a few days she will be more comfortable with him. I am feeding her regular small feeds to try build her body condition up slowly. She still hasnt played with any toys, just wants to be right beside me all the time.
quick update,ruby loves her walks,still a little scared of sounds or traffic but quickly gets over it.she is so loving and craves affection,even crawling on top of my head if im sitting on the sofa
.tonight i was so proud of her ,monty was on the sofa and i sat beside him,ruby wanted me to rub her and quickly figured out that she needed to get on the sofa near monty to get attention from me,she didnt get to close to him but close enough that she felt comfortable,my husband took a picture as we were both delighted that she is feeling a little more comfortable with monty all ready.
ruby feeling comfortable enough to get close to monty ![]()

ruby is flying along now,started playing with monty today all though if he gets to rough she runs and hides under the chair.also shes getting better with new people,as long as they dont pet her and just wait till she comes to them shes fine with that.she adores kids and is very gentle with them.it just shows with only a couple of days how a dog can trust again.
