More: ruby rescued us on september 16, 2019a months after my daughter scarlett died of cancer at age 8 and on what would have been scarlett’s 9th birthday. before she died, scarlett came up with the idea of drawfornpaws.org, to raise money to support the rescue care of animals. it is now a national nonprofit. ruby lives everyone and everything- especially being outside and meeting new “friends” like possums!
