Jack Flashback 2012: Shelby/Daisy

The moment we saw her, we knew she was going to fly out of here ... and she did.

The moment we saw Shelby, we knew she was going to fly out of here … and she did.

Shelby was with us for such a short time that most of you probably won’t remember her. For those of us who did meet her, we will never forget her.

She was on death row in Valdosta when we pulled her July. Her precious face had been gracing the rescue boards and people were scrambling to save her. We didn’t have any room or transport at the time, so she spent a few days in boarding before Terri made the drive down south to pick her up. The moment we saw her perky little self in person, we squealed – literally! What a sweet, precious, little girl this was. Even though she was battling heartworm, we knew she wasn’t going to stay with us for long … and she didn’t.

Within a couple of weeks, she had been renamed to Daisy and was bound for New Jersey to live with her new parents, Bob and Peg Low, who were more than prepared to help her heal. The Lows are the wonderful parents of our most amazing volunteer, Debbie Hasten, and have helped us countless times in the past. They even adopted a beautiful Angel from us in 2006.

Debbie and family also adopted two sweethearts from us – Bo (2005) and Baxter (2011). Suffice to say, they have been “with” us for a lot time and helped us through some of our darkest hours. They continue to keep us alive and well on a daily basis.

These adorable girls are living the dream, spending their days squirrel watching from their favorite window and playing in the yard. Here’s a couple of photos to prove it.
