- Rags was Adopted by Jen Hawkins in Ohio. Rags was found
wandering the road in Olive Branch, MS. near the home of one
of the Olive Branch Humane Society volunteers. |
| Paula (the volunteer)
rescued Rags and fostered him until a new home could be found.
Thanks to Judy Barnette, who saw him on the PetFinders website,
we got involved. We posted pictures and information on the
BONE website and were soon contacted by Jen Hawkins in Ohio.
Jen had been looking for a Neardie and had completed a BONE
adoption application. She and her husband have 2 small kids
and thought Rags was adorable (we agree!). |
 |
Soon, she was on the phone to Paula
who quickly approved of her. We contacted her references and agreed
with Paula. So....a meeting was set up. We picked up Rags, bathed
and brushed him and on Sat, Dec 7, we took him to meet Jen in
Nashville, TN. He was a hit and off they went.
We spoke to Jen the next day and she said that she couldn't be
more pleased. Rags goes to the door and waits if he has to go
out, hasn't had any accidents in the house (yet...it's only 1
day!) and loves the kids. RAGS HAS A FOREVER HOME!!!
Original Story 11/11/02 Rags gets along great with other dogs
and, we think housebroken. He has been running with the other
dogs in the fenced in 1 acre pen and has gotten along great. He
is very sweet and loves to get his belly rubbed. The vet said
he was about 2-3 years old but I would say he is between 3 and
4. I don't know how he is with kids nor what he would do if he
was loose but the lady who originally rescued him said when she
went to get him near the road, he ran at first then came to her
and got in the car. He knows his name now and comes when he is
called.
