Jenkins!!!
Meet Jenkins...He is a GHS favorite! He has been with us for a while now, simply because Pits are harder to adopt out. He really is the sweetest, nicest, and most loving dog. He is extremely smart and very strong! All our volunteers love him. He often rolls over on his back when he wants us to give him a belly rub, and Jenkins has never met a stranger!!!
Handsome Jenkins is a young (1-2 year) Pitbull (65 lbs) who was dumped on a farm as a skinny frightened dog. He wore an old ragged collar and a choke chain that almost had to be cut off (obviously, he had grown in to these old collars). The people who took him in did not want a dog and determined to take him to their very remote county "pound" where he would have been KILLED or worse: adopted, then possibly chained up, bred, and/or used in fighting. A foster home took him and he is in great shape now. Jenkins loves the company of many of the other dogs in the foster home. He listens well, routinely comes when called, and is easily corrected w/a firm "no". He has even indicated he would do well w/kitties. Jenkins is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm neg., and microchipped. Lots really GOOD to say about this very nice dog! For more information about Jenkins, contact veggiebev@bellsouth.net!
