Intake notes

Jess came to us mid-run and has, technically, not stopped. She was surrendered by a household that loved her dearly but could no longer hear about the hamstring. Jess is healthy, cheerful, and fueled almost entirely by electrolyte powder and the approval of strangers online. She responds well to encouragement, poorly to hills, and very poorly to the suggestion that a 10K is "basically a marathon." Jess rehomes best with a household that will let her put the little oval sticker on the car.

Jess is fictional.
These animals are not.

Every one of them is waiting at a real shelter right now.

Still looking for a human to rescue

Every one of them is real, verified with the shelter, and adoptable today.
