Hi everyone! So my friends at Joliet Township Animal Control said I needed to introduce myself to the internet world to see if I can boost my visibility here. I keep hearing over and over that I am the longest resident of 125 plus days. Let me tell you my story.
Back in December, I was looking about in a neighborhood for some shelter from the cold and found someone's back porch. They luckily called animal control and I was scooped up by a female officer that put me in her warm van with a blanket. We took a quick ride to this big facility, where I was greeted by a team of smiles faces and treats. They were examining me and said I was skinny, dirty (how rude!), and needed a bath. After a few pokes of some vaccines, they gave me a warm bath and a soft blanket in my kennel and I felt RELIEVED. It's been a minute since I have had a bowl of food and warm and somewhere soft to lay down.
Days past and adoption day finally came and I was thrilled! I could not wait to start meeting new families! As time went on, people came and went and I was puzzled as to why I was never chosen... I met several families with kids and I showered them with kisses and affection. I met couples and I showed them how fun I could be with toys. I sat patiently for treats and gently took them from their hands. But it wasn't enough and days and days passed and my kennel walls became my new home...
I was originally fine with dogs and loved to play but my stress became unbearable. Hearing 25+ dogs in a room constantly would drive you nuts too. So right now, I'm looking to be your one and only and I would say that I promise to be all that you need! Thank goodness for the staff and volunteers here. They love to keep me busy with long walks, treats, and peanut butter frisbees (my favorite). You can always know where I am because the staff always greet me with a loud "SIDDDDDDDDDYYYY" and I repay them with my shimmy of my butt and tail wags. I just can't get enough of it and loves to wet them with a kiss.
I hope you all share my story and help me find my forever home. I was in roughhhh shape when I came in and I just need a chance. Feel free to check out my full adoption memo at https://www.joliettownshipanimalcontrol.net/adopt/
Call my friends at JTAC for details or stop by to see me! I'll be waiting!
