Foster mom Terri got the call about Jersey on July 31st. "Jersey's family was being evicted that day and no one would take her. The shelters were full. A friend and I were on the road in a matter of minutes. Jersey was in terrible shape. She was emaciated with open sores over her backside. She was bald and could not sit still from her discomfort. A visit to the vet confirmed sarcoptic mange, whipworms and a fungal infection. She spent time separated from the other dogs. We had to change our clothes and scrub down when handling Jersey in the early days. There were lots of medicated baths. As the itching stopped, Jersey started to gain weight. Her quality of life started to improve. We decided that after watching her blossom we could not let this sweet girl go.
She now spends her days lounging on the couch or relaxing in the yard with 2 other Mastiffs. She makes us laugh everyday and has been a precious addition to our family.
Here are pictures of Jersey today in her new home. Her future has
changed since her former family
gave her up and her new family knew the rewards of adopting.
