JENNI POOH is currently our POSTER DOG.......what she's endured prior to getting here is both saddening and unacceptable. Picked up as a stray, Jenni's family was eventually identified, only to find out that she had been viciously injured several days earlier, then dumped because a family member did not want to spend the money to take her to the Vet for care.
Jenni's first stroke of good luck was when her original family surrendered her at the Shelter, alowing her to come into Sheltie Rescue. Since her arrival, her gaping neck wound healed unbelievably in one month time. On a less than lucky note, she alos tested heartworm positive and is now undergoing that treatment.
There has not been one person who has met her that hasn't immediately fallen in love with her bubbly and outgoing, often demanding "PET ME" personality . Sure, Jenni's had some rough times in her past, but she obviously did not come out of this ALL SO NEGLECTED PAST emotionally harmed OR she's the most forgiving soul one could imagine meeting.
Jenni's medical care has certainly topped what normal rescue vetting entails, so, if you can make a donation to her care, SSR and JENNI POOH would be very grateful. The link is on the front page of our web-site.
