Jenny's Story

Honestly I don't know Jenny's whole story.  We met online, so at least she's a high tech dog.

One night I was web surfing, looking for papillon breeders.  Our English Cocker, Mini, was deathly ill with kidney failure and our little beagle, Jintsy, who was creeping up to the age of 15 was going to have a tough time with separation anxiety for the second time in her life. It was time to add to our pack.

Some wild compunction within made me go to the English Springer Spaniel rescue site and there was Jenny, it was love at first sight - my new BFF - and I just had to have her.  The story that was posted with her pictures was that her owners had to give her up because they couldn't take care of her any more due to their own health issues. Although this made me sad, I was also happy that we could give her a home and  we needed her as much as she needed us.

We had had two other springers, Max and Missy, and totally loved them both. This would be the first time we adopted an adult dog.  It's odd that we never did that before and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about adopting an adult dog.

Before even telling my husband about Jenny I contacted the foster parent and filled out the application forms.  Shortly after telling my husband, I found out that the process wasn't going to be nearly as fast as I wanted and there was no guarantee that we would get Jenny. We both had our hearts set on getting Jenny.
