Ruby, Adopted 2/19/22<br />

Ruby, a 15-week-old puppy, was surrendered to<br />

Peggy Adams on Sunday, February 6th with her two<br />

littermates because they all had parvovirus. Parvovirus<br />

is a highly contagious disease in dogs that can cause<br />

severe illness and even death.<br />

All three puppies were very sick so we sent them to an<br />

emergency clinic where they could receive intensive,<br />

around-the-clock care. Unfortunately, over the next<br />

few days, both of Ruby’s littermates declined rapidly<br />

and didn’t make it.<br />

Ruby was a fighter and she made it through. She was<br />

nursed to health and came back to Peggy Adams a few<br />

days later. She was spayed, vaccinated, microchipped,<br />

and then placed into Peggy Adams’ adoption program.<br />

On February 19th, Ruby found her loving forever<br />

home, getting all the belly rubs she could ever ask for.<br />

Ruby's Happy Tail<br />

“Ruby is doing excellent. We conducted a DNA test<br />

on her and the results were shocking. She is 50%<br />

Chihuahua, 17% Poodle, 15% Bichon Frise and 13%<br />

Miniature Schnauzer. She has bonded with everyone<br />

in the family, including her new furry brother and<br />

sister. She enjoys annoying her sister and cuddling<br />

next to her brother after hours of play time. She<br />

has already been on two road trips. One to our<br />

other house in the Keys and the latest one to North<br />

Carolina. Our family could not be happier having her<br />

part of our life.” – Tony and April C.<br />

About Olivia’s Fund: Olivia came to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League after being rescued from an animal hoarder. She had<br />

significant hip dysplasia and muscle atrophy from abuse and neglect. Olivia had also been shot with a BB gun and needed surgery<br />

to help repair her legs. In honor of Olivia, we set up a special fund to help give a second chance to dogs and cats with medical and<br />

behavioral issues that can be fixed with surgery, special medical treatment, or training. We decided to call it “Olivia’s Fund.”<br />
