This was Ruthie just over two years ago (at right). A nice, young, female black lab. She was delivered to my house by a redneck woman, tied in the back of her pickup. The best thing the woman ever did for the dog was to give her up, and to give her some credit, she did make an effort to give the dog to someone who would find it a home, rather than dump it at an already overcrowded shelter.
I found Ruthie a great home, with two daddies and a pitbull brother, and this is Ruthie today, now called Zoey. I received an email and pics from her new home just today. I can't get over how beautifully shiny her coat is now. It just goes to show what a good home can do for a dog. Her prior owner's only wish was that we find her a home where she could run free. While that's a nice fantasy, it often results in a prematurely dead dog. I'd rather adopt a dog where it will have a real home and will be valued member of the family, instead of being an outdoor yard accessory.
Zoey has it made. She has a great home and she gets 3 hours a day of walking and outdoor play. And it really shows. She looks great--happy, well-adjusted, and content. You can see the love.

Those photos are remarkable.
She looks like a dog from a Labrador calendar. Her fur is so shiny. Thank you for the updates.
