Just over 2 months ago, on Easter Sunday, 2014, a Home at Last Dog Rescue volunteer went to one of the most overcrowded shelters in Philadelphia and pulled a dog that had been brought in as a stray. He was covered in dirt and bugs, had a double ear infection that required surgical cleaning, was emaciated, and was just in all around bad shape. He was also scheduled to be euthanized that day. Despite his really rough road, he was wagging his tail at her from his kennel. She pulled him from the shelter and brought him to a foster home. That dog was Jax.
After a whirlwind week of vet appointments and multiple foster homes, Jax came to live with Jennifer Smith and family. He loves everyone (dogs, kids, cats – you name it). And, he wakes up every morning with such joy and delight at the prospect of facing another day that he helps us put a smile on our faces every morning. Jax is, as we say at Corporate Visions, “all in”.
Jennifer’s family is so grateful that they get to share their lives with this lovely guy, that when she received the $100 challenge, she knew immediately who she wanted to give it to. Jax and Jennifer drove down to Blue Bell, Pennsylvania to a “Home at Last” adoption event and gave them the $100 as a way to say thanks for saving his life and in hopes that they can save many more dogs like Jax.
