A week ago from yesterday (Saturday DEC 10th) I took a 50 lb bag of Purina Dog Chow to our local Humane Shelter. I do that sometimes. I noticed there was a very small two year old female Jack Russell mix hiding in the back of her cage. She was so sad looking. I opened her cage and I know I saw a tear under her eye. I asked an employee about her. He told me Jill's heart is broken and that she misses her family. She has been there over two months. I stayed with her awhile, went back the next day, took milk bones and treats to her. We went outside and walked. She began to warm up to me.I took photos of her and have been trying to find her a home.
I would have brought Jill home but knew my mix bullies would have hurt her - they play so rough. I went 3 days last week to visit on my lunch hour. Bought her a 2 pack of Purina Busy Bones for todays visit.When I arrived, a very nice family had Jill out of her cage - they were petting her. Then they took her outside on a lease. I knew they were going to adopt her.
