Ruby, a one-year-old golden retriever, was surrendered to an animal shelter in Québec last summer, but the clever canine is now training to become a therapy dog.
The pup was left at SPCA Roussillon, and her happy, kind personality prompted the shelter to then recommend her to the Asista Foundation, which trains rescue dogs to be service animals for children and adults struggling with their mental health. Ruby is set to become one of the first service dogs in Asista’s Facility Service Dog Program.
