We came across Violet, Daisy, Iris, and Sweet William on our very first day of outreach as Jade's Mission! My mom and I were out when we came across a momma in the street eating out of the trash. We started looking around at where her pups could be. We located them on a porch, but no one was home. These pups were starving and clearly overloaded with worms. They were fighting over the dog biscuits I was giving them. The next day we went back to make contact with the owners. Finally someone was home. The lady stated that she wanted all the puppies, one for each of her kids... ugh. After much convincing, we were able to take the three girls into our program, but they would not let the boy pup go. We sadly left him there alone, but we knew we would be back to check on him. The next week my mom and I were there again and this poor boy was so afraid he was hiding under a truck in a vacant lot next door. We finally caught the poor puppy and he was sooo hungry he ate an entire can of food in seconds. We talked with the owners and they finally gave him up too. That's how these puppies became the first rescues of Jade's Mission! We gave them a couple weeks of recovery at Kendra's while they passed their worms, got vaccinated, and spayed/neutered.
It wasn't long before we started getting interested in them. Pretty little Iris was the first to be adopted! Then soon after that, beautiful Iris was adopted. Then we had the two black ones left. We know, being in the rescue world for a while, how hard it can be sometimes to adopt out black dogs. With the help of T.A.R.A., they courtesy listed our puppies and within two weeks we found forever homes for Daisy and finally Sweet William!
Within those weeks of fostering these four cuties, Kendra also took in a beautiful Belgium Malinois puppy someone dumped in a hotel room. Parker didn't last long at Jade's Mission and was adopted in less than a week! Then just this past week, we took in a chunky little boy named Toad. He is the cutest little hunk and he was adopted just yesterday by a wonderful family! Please enjoy the following pictures of happiness! These puppies are the lucky ones that made it out of the hell they were born in to and are now off to their life of love and happiness!
Thank you everyone who donated towards the healthy recovery of all these puppies and towards their spays and neuters. Thank you to the volunteers who didn't give up and helped rescue all these babies. And finally, THANK YOU KENDRA for fostering all these cuties till they were adopted. You cared for these pups, screened the applications, and did all the adoptions. You had the toughest job of all and you did an amazing job!
