Jackie was the sweetest dog in the whole world! He was a "hope dog" and when I saw his picture, I felt a special connection. I'm so grateful I was lucky enough to adopt him. He sadly passed away at the age of 13/14 in October 2022, but we had 12 wonderful years with him and so many memories were made. I truly believe that shelter dogs know they are in a good home and are extremely grateful, because he was so loving and showed his gratitude to us every day. I've since adopted 2 more dogs from Crossing Paths (Allie and Peyton), who were also hope dogs, and they are great too. Adopt, don't shop...shelter dogs are the best!!
