GRREAT Donation Center
 

Ruby Dee (07-086) is a very petite girl who was found as a stray in rural Virginia in 2007.  This 12 year-old exceptionally sweet Golden was gravely ill with pneumonia, a collapsed lung, and horrible dental problems.  After 2 months of treatment, including 9 teeth extractions, a happy healthy dog emerged to spend the rest of her days with 3 other dogs and 4 cats.  Ruby Dee is loved by all who meet her.
