I am fostering Ruby for the time being. I will have more info, her bio and more pics to add as soon as Dawn from the Barking Lot of San Diego gets more info to me. She is very sweet and does well with dogs, cats, and kids..she walks real well. Her previous owners got her from a 'grocery' store not realizing how big she would get. She was thier first dog and they do not want the responsibiity. Go figure....

Cacti,

I just think she is SUCH a beauty! I love the blue color. Just thought I'd see how everything is going with her and your new baby too!

Very cute......love the way her ear flops over!

She went in to heat So I have to hang onto her till she is done so she can get fixed before she goes to hwr new owners.. I'm getting attached to her....

Trejo loves her too and she really liie Tristan

BUT GOD NOT ANOTHER ANIMAL!!! Specially a pup

Of course Trejo loves her, she's in heat. Even fixed dogs get all when the females go into heat.

Funniest thing I ever saw was our dog, Murray (RIP), get all enamored with my mother's yorkshire terrier when she went into heat. It was like he suddenly fell in love with her, for about a week

She is a really good looking dog...sad cycle alot of pits go through when the owners buy a pup based on HYPE or not getting educated on this speacial breed . Hope she finds a really good home. and hats off to you for fostering this dog and giving her a chance>

beautiful Pit... I love my male Blue Nose... couldn't ask for a better dog...

I still have her...OMG one thing after another comes up preventing spaying her. She can't get adopted till the spaying...I almost feel like she is meant to stay cuz too many weird obstacles have come up..JEEZ!!!! Her potential owners are so patient but are starting to wonder too.......

What's been preventing her from being spayed?

The 1st time she went into heat..no spay while in heat. Then they found a vet that would do it but then she got a respirtory infection. so no spay while on antibiotics. She got better. Then the lady that was suppoose to take her to her appt was late and they took another dog so she missed her appt. THEN we got a no call back on the stand by day for today so no spaying yet.

Trejo LOVES her so does Tristan...and well, I do too. She has been with us for almost 2 months now.

ut oh I sense a foster fail here Sounds bad but it's really kinda good, when a foster mom or dad fall for the charge. I think this is partly why I haven't fostered an animal, the other part is hiding it from the landlord

Good luck. I'm sure Ms Ruby will find a great home be it with you or someone else. She is a cutie!

Beautiful pit & I love the name too! I think she already found a home, She's a keeper!

Well it was only suppose to be for less than a week. Otherwise its inevitable to get attached. I am more concerned of the attachment between Trejo and her at this point. They are seperated most the time except the last 2 days...but she walks with us and all so....we shall see. I dunno. But yeah...I probably won't foster again. They said this is the most haywire foster they have had being that every single time we are set to go something comes up...I do like her and it was insinuated to me last night that she may as well just stay if I want her...

Wellll....Ruby went to her spaying appt. When she was brought back to me I was informed she had been pregnant. I'm guessing once they went to spayed her they were inside her and found the puppies they removed the puppies Turns out she had only 2 more weeks to go. I am really down about this. I don't understand why they did not check beforhand being that she was an unspayed female fostered dog. Money maybe?

As I look back I wish I knew the signs cuz I see them now. 1. her sluggishness 2. her peeing uncontrolably at times 3. grouchy 4. and day before her appt I noticed mucus coming out of you know where...I am guessing now that it was her mucus plug meaning she was very very close to delivering. 5. I had a hunch she was prego and even said jokingly "have her checked just in case (hahaha)" When she was turned into us she was only 6 months old which means she was prego at 5 months. So sad....this is what pisses me off when dog owners don't protect thier dog. :HATE: They don't deserve her..she is a good dog. Anyways, she is much much thinner around her waist...I had thought she was just growing since she was a rescue pup. She did not have a big belly at all. Her litter was small I guess due to her young age...

I am so sad about this..absolutley breaks my heart. I know the world does not need more puppies but these were already there ya know...to take them out like that seems so cruel. And Ruby must have known something was going on with her body..Its day 3 now and she is doing okay

Fostering her has opened my eyes to the very sad reality of the world these poor dogs live. I want to help but I'm not sure I can take anything like this again. Now I know why Tia from Pit Bulls and Parolee's says "you harden yourself". I totally get it now. For my first foster it has been quite an unusual ordeal. Thank God her new owners are good...so I'm told. They also own a Presa Canario. I will meet them this weekend.

Lov ya Ruby Tuesday

I just feel real bad, like I failed her by not being more persistant or knowledgable..Growing up we never had dogs that had puppies...I just didn't know...I kept wondering why she was still soooo swollen down there. I bet I would have come home from work one day real soon and found her with her pups She should have been able to go through with it...I can't imagine what it will do to her development and hormones.

Ruby!!!! Look how cute she is with that crooked azz ear of hers

You a good woman for taking care of her Sharon.

Cacti. Remember Dogs live in the moment. Don't be too down, they pick up on our feelings, and you will worry her & Trejo. I'm not saying its easy, but keep your chin up girl. Rescue work can be frustrating, but also extremely rewarding. I guess you try to forget the bad and cherish the good. I'm sorry you & Ruby had to go through with all that. Hows she recovering?

I'm sure when I take her to her new home I will feel the "all worth it" part

I'm cool just going with it. She is a tough dog. She is doing good today...

She is STILL here...

Just keep her. She's already a member of your family

Tuesday is the day set for her adoption in Temecula. (holding my breath) I am going to go and witness it. After all I have been through with her the least I want is to see her go to her new home.

She is at her new home.

I think somebody needs to take Sharon out for a drink after all of that - actually make that drinks!

Peace out ruby tuesday. First foster is a success way to go cacti!!

They called me already. Her and thier Mastiff are NOT clicking. Its Ruby thats dishing out the crap...I told them to give the dogs a few days together before they call it quits.


Surprises me cuz her and trejo were fine together...maybe her little hormones are gett'n the best of her and she is just not settled yet.

ah man that blows.

awh noo

hope it works out!

Me too...cuz I want my next dog to be a rottie LMAO

doing better YAY!

Cacti, any updates? Since we do fostering, just thought I'd check in! Nothing better than hearing a good success story! And as the foster parent, you love to see them find a loving home!

Also, perhaps the pup is testing the limits is the other dog is not as balanced as your dog is. Puppy may also not be shown the limits and expectations because it is the "new" one. I know that Angel walked the line when she was our 1st puppy and she is awesome. Turbo got a little more lee way (our mistake) because he was 4 months old and the "new" puppy when we got him. Now I have to correct him more than Angel ever needed.

QG

Hey..she is adjusting well and they are doing good.

Thank you
