When Ruby, an adorable mixed breed pup, gets mixed up in a daring attempt to help foster kids across the US, she learns that love can overcome any obstacle...even a broken heart.
Abandoned in a shelter as a puppy, Ruby wonders if she will ever be adopted by a family. When a goofy looking, scruffy-faced man stops by the shelter, he adopts Ruby. Mr. James was not the family she was expecting-but could he still be the answer to her prayers?
Mr. James (known as Jimmy Wayne to his country music fans) is walking half-way across America to raise awareness for the thousands of foster children who desperately need our help. Ruby realizes that she's not so very different from these kids: she's scared and alone. If she doesn't have help, she can't have hope, either. But Mr. James wants to change all that, for her and for every foster kid in the United States.
On their adventure together, Mr. James teaches her about integrity, trust, love, forgiveness, and how to be a star that shines for others. As they walk along historic routes and locations throughout the Southeastern United States, Ruby quietly helps Mr. James overcome the issues he's been struggling with too. By the time they get to Phoenix, both of their lives are changed for the better.
Just as Ruby accepts Mr. James as her new family, an unexpected phone call challenges her to redefine family-and love-all over again. Ruby is reunited with her birth mother, learning that hard times can hit good people, and the foster system only works when we all work with it.
Readers will walk away from Ruby the Foster Dog with a full heart, a lot of fun and quirky facts about the United States, and a strong desire to help foster kids (and foster dogs) find homes and forever families.
