My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ABOUT ME...
Hi! My name is Rubie Grace! I came from an awful place called a puppy mill. :( Now I'm at a place called a foster home!! It's sooo nice here!! I have lots of dog and cat siblings here. They even have a parrot!! I'm learning how to be a dog here. I love my cozy bed!! (I even share it!) There's lots of toys too, that I'm learning to play with! My foster family gives me something called treats!!! They are so yummy! I'll "sit pretty for them!!
I'm very food motivated. Dad makes something special called spaghetti, just for us fur kids, it gives me the zoomies because it's so tasty!!!

I AM GREAT WITH...
I'm great with all of my fur siblings, but the kittys smell funny!! Still not sure what to think about the bird!
I love the kids too! They're teaching me to go outside with everyone to potty. I really like that! They give me treats, cuddles, and lots of love! I know my name now, so I run to them when they hollar for Rubie!!!!

I AM STILL WORKING ON...
I'm still working on going potty outside, but if I can't make it, Mom and Dad have potty pads for me to use!! We've been working on using the leash also, but it scares me. I don't really like it when my crate is closed, but I do settle down. Mom says I'm doing great at "learning to be a dog I'm still skittish about things around the house, so please be patient with me!!!

I AM NOT GOOD WITH...
I'm still getting used to loud noises, and sudden movements. It's kinda scary, but everyone tries to make me feel better!!

I REQUIRE...
My family says I must have a fenced in yard. I think that's a good thing, cause I'm still scared of some stuff. I really like exploring our backyard yard, and my mom and dad don't worry as much because I can't leave our yard! Mom says until I get used to the leash, (we've been working with it in the backyard!) a harness would be best for me!! It scares me a little when we put it on, but I'm ok with it!!!

*** SIDE NOTE FROM MY FAMILY
Rubie Grace is an amazing lil lady. She has come so far, in the short time we've had her!! She has a wonderful personality!!
