Safe Haven of Iowa County

This petite cutie is Ruby, and she came to Safe Haven along with her sister Sadie, from a city pound in Missouri.  These two pups are estimated to be between 6 and 9 months old and look to be Lab / Terrier mixes.  Both are pretty shy and seem to be under socialized - and while Ruby is starting to come out of her shell, she is still startled by new sights and sounds and is a bit timid yet. Ruby does enjoy it when volunteers sit with her and give her lots of loves! Ruby would certainly love a family to call her own and help her mature into a great companion. 

As with any young dog, Ruby will need a family that is committed to continuing proper socialization and also all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a routine/schedule.  She initially may need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning.  This will give her family the best chance at success, and as a reward they will receive years of wonderful love and devotion!
