THIS IS A LITTLE HISTORY ON BON JOVI
GREAT DANE RESCUE MOVED INTO OUR CURRENT LOCATION ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. WE INHERITED 22 DOGS THAT WERE LEFT BY THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS. WE WERE TOLD THESE DOGS WERE LEFT BEHIND, BECAUSE THEY WERE ‘UNADOPTABLE’. MOST OF THESE 22 DOGS WERE SHY, DOG-AGGRESSIVE, BUT MOSTLY, SCARED TO DEATH OF PEOPLE. IT WAS QUITE PAINFULLY AND OBVIOUSLY DISPLAYED BY THEIR BEHAVIOR WHEN ANYBODY APPROACHED THEM. WE ARE QUITE CERTAIN THESE DOGS HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED AFFECTION FROM A HUMAN BEING. IF ONLY THEY COULD SPEAK. WE PROMISED THESE 22 SOULS THAT WE WOULD DO OUR VERY BEST TO SHOW THEM NOT ALL HUMANS ARE SCARY. THANKS TO ALL OUR DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS AND EMPLOYEES, MANY OF THESE DOGS HAVE BEEN REHABILITATED AND ARE NOW IN GREAT HOMES, LIVING WITH LOVELY PEOPLE.
BON JOVI IS ONE OF THOSE 22 DOGS. HE HAS COME A LONG WAY AND IS MORE THAN READY TO BECOME A HAPPY HEALTHY MEMBER OF SOME LUCKY PERSON’S LIFE! HE IS WONDERFUL WITH OTHER DOGS, ALL SIZES AND KIDS OF ALL AGES. HE HAS EARNED THE ‘CUTEST NOSE’ AWARD AND IT IS HIS FAVORITE ‘KISSING SPOT’
PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO WATCH THE ATTACHED VIDEO OF THIS BOY AND WITNESS HOW FAR HE HAS COME!
