Jennifer offers dogs for adoption that have NOT been fully vetted by their vet, but she claims this on her website/Facebook page, and to anyone she talks to at her adoption events. But the truth is that the dogs she offers are usually sick and/out have mental and/or physical issues, some very extreme. And she charges hundreds of dollars for each pet she adopts out, and tells people it's to recoup the vet fees. I used to live in Powder Springs, which is next to Hiram, which is where we first met Jennifer, and subsequently heard stories about her from more than 1 person. Same stories over and over, gets pull privileges from shelter (so she gets dogs for free), CLAIMS to get them vetted and says they're in good health, charges hundreds of dollars per animal, no vetting gets done, then more often than not, those animals wind up sicker or dead. We heard from one person we ran into that adopted from her that their adopted dog got loose, and they actually found it back up for adoption through Jennifer's Pet Rescue while shopping at Sam's Club over there one day. The dog was microchipped, but Jennifer never contacted the owners, instead choosing to charge hundreds for it AGAIN. And the dog was sick when these people first adopted it too. This was years ago, so I'm mortified to hear she's still in business. I live a long distance from there now, otherwise I'd be back there picketing by her every stinking weekend!
I have gotten many messages asking about Bodie. Here is what's been going on with him. This was the end of March Recently we adopted a black GSD from Jennifer's Pet Rescue. We were told that he had been completely veted and had no health issues. He wouldn't walk for Jennifer and she claimed he didn't like walking on tile floors and had never been on a leash. He had been abused by the dog he lived with and crated for 20 hours a day. We took him outside and he walked for us but you could tell his gate was not right. Again she claimed he had been checked out by the vet. That nothing was wrong with him. We adopted him anyways because she would have he had him euthanized and he's so sweet. Took him home were he would only sleep and would not walk. Took him to the vet where he had been before he had a massive ear infection in both ears (Dr said he had never seen ears so bad) and was given 3 prescriptions.
At this point he still wouldn't walk. I asked the Dr how could they say the dog was completely healthy. He went and checked and to find out our dog came in but in a large kennel. He didn't get up or out of the kennel. They gave him 2 shots and he left.
So they didn't know that he was in bad shape. But according to Jennifer he was completely checked out by the vet and healthy. 3 weeks have since passed. His ears are better but he has major issues. He is special needs . He has fine motor issues. Has trouble getting up and down. Chases his tail and barks nonstop. He has some cerebellum issues. When we pet him on his left side he shakes and falls. I would never recommend adopting a pet from her because she is not a truthful person all she does is lies. Update 5/16/16 He has been getting more and more aggressive. He has bitten Ken and myself. Constantly attacks us. He has an average of 100 episodes of tail chasing aggression a day (seizures). Now when we touch him anywhere on his body he shakes and falls. He is loosing his hair and doesn't have any on his paws from dragging them. He's lost 10 pounds. I have spent many Saturday's watching Jennifer's Pet Rescue adopt out many animals. A lot of them are lethargic. I don't know how anyone with a heart can do this to the animal humans. It makes me beyond angry. We said good bye to Bodie after trying 4 different prescriptions for his seizures and his mental state. I'm so heart broken but I know we tried everything to give him a happy life
