Meet Jolene, a small female dog who has recently been rescued from a puppy mill situation involving 98 dogs. She's part of a group that has endured significant hardship, coming from an environment where they were scared and under-socialized. Jolene is learning to navigate the world outside of her previous life, where interactions with humans were minimal and basic experiences like walking on the ground or drinking from a bowl were foreign to her. Jolene will require a patient adopter who can provide her with a nurturing environment filled with positive experiences. She’s on a journey of discovery and it will be important for her new family to understand her needs as she decompresses. As she settles in, we will continue to learn more about her personality and preferences. Getting acquainted with Jolene is encouraged; be sure to visit her in person at the shelter. Your patience and love could make a profound difference in her life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
