Here's what the humans have to say about me:
How do you spell 'grateful?' You spell it J-A-S-M-I-N-E ... that's me, JASMINE! I think I am the happiest, most grateful sweet girl you have ever met. I am a gorgeous tan HOUND-SHEPHERD mix with a little white on my chest, a black muzzel and the most soulful brown eyes you have ever seen! I think I was born sometime in 2008. I was very, very sick and the wonderful Humane Society people rescued and loved me back to health. My best friend in the world, Juno ( Staffordshire mix, born in 2009) and I were all alone in the world. We were abandoned way out in the country, lost with no hope of finding food, water, shelter or anyone to help us. We were so sick and malnourished that our immune systems were unable to fight off parasites that are normally natural and harmless in dogs. We had HUGE open wounds all over our bodies; they were so itchy that we scratched all of the time and this made everything even worse....many of our wounds were from the constant scratching. It hurt so much. We had lost a lot of our pretty fur and keeping warm became even more difficult. Our sores then got infected and the sores were so deep and raw... we were dying a very, very, slow, painful death of starvation, exposure and disease. One day we saw a white van and it slowed down and the man tried to coax us to come to him with some food. We were so afraid that we ran and hid...but he left us some food. The next day the man came back...we were still too afraid but he left us food again. He came back the third day and, again, tried to coax us to come to him. This time, so overwhelmed with hunger, we let him put us into his van. We didn't know he was from the Humane Society and that he was rescuing us...but we did feel relieved that we were now being cared for. We were so grateful that he was so patient and willing to keep coming back until he could rescue us... that's what the wonderful people at the shelter are like - loving, patient, and determined to rescue animals that need help. We were so relieved to be warm, dry, fed, and safe. They took us to the vets and they gave us lots of medicine. They kept us in their office where we had warm beds with soft blankets; it was so warm and clean and they talked to us all of the time. We had food every day, TREATS, and the itching gradually stopped and our wounds were lovingly cared for. We are now healing beautifully! We LOVE being cared for at the shelter.....people are so nice to us and they are so gentle and kind..... we didn't know that people could be like this! Our deep wounds have healed, our fur has grown back and we are healthy now. I never knew you could feel this good both on the inside and the outside! I heard them say that we are both ready for our forever loving homes with a family now. I don't know what a 'forever home' is nor what a 'family' is. I do know that having a warm, dry, bed inside is wonderful, a full tummy is so special, not itching is such a relief and people taking me for walks and loving on me is just... just.... just almost too much to believe. They say I LOVE ATTENTION AND AM SO FRIENDLY. I am calm, walk nicely on a leash and will make A wonderful fur friend. I just know that I am such a happy, grateful sweet girl that loves everyone. So, now you know how to spell 'grateful' - it is me, Jasmine. Healthy and happy and ready for my new forever family and home! I can't imagine that life can be any better than it is now but they say that when you come to get me and take me home....I will be in doggy heaven. Wow - me - Jasmine - will be in 'doggie heaven' at your house!!!!
