Good Luck, Jaz!

I’ll keep this short because it’s hard enough what I had to do today, to also sit down and write a book about it.

Jaz is an incredibly sweet natured and loving pitbull mix. I had every intentions of giving her the best forever home for her that I could and to take her on awesome doggy adventures!

Unfortunately, she just wasn’t cut out for city life and it’ll be months before we can move anywhere quieter. She was scared of EVERYTHING under the sun and suffered severe anxiety and stress while in the city/on walks.

So I decided that what she needs is something I can’t give her — a home with some doggy companions and a nice big yard.

So tonight I got very lucky and found the most amazing family for Jaz. She is now living in the suburbs of Portland with her new doggy family (she’s a third child now!) and owners who absolutely dote upon their pooches. She has a beautiful, huge, back yard with a 6 foot high fence. She became instant best friends with the family’s shitzhu and is warming up to their older border collie mix.

I’m glad I was able to take her in, if only for a short while, when I did. She dodged a huge bullet just by living with me (even if only temporarily) andI was able to help her gain weight and learn how to be stable and calm.

I will miss her sincerely but I know that she found the best possible life for herself today and she will be better for it.
