Through Snow & Ice...

After losing our beloved Jack Russell to Cushings Disease, four months later we were looking at Petfinders.com and came across this sweet little thing by the name of Cooper Pup. The picture was all it took. We contacted the rescue site to find out that we were third in line; however, because we had previous "Jack Russell experience", we were chosen to be the adoptive parents!

"CP", along with his owners lived in Idaho; we live in Oregon, so we met somewhere in the middle. Driving from Portland to Umatilla, Oregon in December of 2008 was treacherous going. Icy roads and lots of snow through the Columbia Gorge was a little hair raising but was well worth it in order to meet him and take him home. Many thanks to the Jack Russell Rescue group for facilitating this wonderful adoption!
