All in the Family

Jasper
Meet the newest addition to the "S" family; the handsome and sweet-as-pie, Jasper. We had a 10 minute long text marathon on Friday during which we decided that this guy:

Mr. Ari

...needed a friend to keep him company during the day.

We were actually in search of a small dog to keep inside the house, because I miss Max, (he's living with my parents back home now.) But as soon as we heard Jasper's story, we knew this little boy was the right dog for us. He was found by the Northwest Arkansas Animal Shelter about a year ago, hungry and covered in fleas and ticks. They were actually minutes away from euthanizing him when one of the shelter volunteers saw him being sedated and offered to take him home and care for him personally.

S and I both have big hearts for animals, (especially dogs), and this soulful-eyed pup made quite the impression on us.

I can't wait to move in with ALL of these boys in September!

Be blessed, lovelies-

    We think he is some sort of Lab mix. Not really sure though.
