My story

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

My adult son and I rescued Ruby from the county shelter December 1, 2023. I had been without a dog 2 yrs and hoped for a walking/home companion. I do not have a backyard, and she deserves one. Desperately. . She walked on a leash easily for everyone at first, not reacting to other dogs or small animals.
We all grew attached to her quickly and vice versa. However, the more attached and protective she became with us, the more aggression and leash pulling she engaged in. Socialization with other dogs has been too difficult.
We have taken her everywhere we go (she loves car rides seatbelted) but I cannot control her on her leash. I have had ribs broken, sprained wrist from her pulling me into the ground. I now have a mean strap burn on my ankle from her pulling.

My son moved out this week and is unable to take her where he is.
I completely understand that I need training myself. But without my son here I can’t do it.
I adore her, and this is so painful. But it’s best for her.
