Ruby is a 4-year-old Pit Lab Mix in Westminster, CO, who needs $2,000 for ACL and CCL Repair.

Ruby was introduced to our family just before the COVID19 quarantine. She was the perfect addition to our family during hard times. Ruby is a 4 year old pitfall lab mix with a big personality. She's adventurous, smart, gentle, and well behaved.

Ruby has a special place in our family and loves being around people. She usually sleeps in her bed in the living room during family time and sleeps in a human bed whenever she can. She loves her cuddles!

Ruby is deadly afraid of balloons but loves to sit at the window and watch people walking their dogs. She loves playing tug of war and making friends at the dog park (if she's not busy chasing squirrels).

When Ruby had her x-rays done by Animal Works Surgery Center, we were told that she had fully torn her ACL in her left leg and partially torn the same ligament in her right leg. Ruby will need two different surgeries to fix the full and partial tears in both her legs. Ruby is being sedated to keep her from putting any pressure and stress on her legs and keep her from feeling the pain when walking.

I am an unemployed, full time college student living with my parents. I have three brothers and sisters and our income can not support our families basic needs and the surgeries that Ruby requires or we would need to put her down.
