Jackson Animal Care & Control profiles 'Justice' and reopens for adoptions
Summary
Whitney Owen of Jackson Animal Care & Control described a neglected dog named Justice, explained the shelter's cleaning and reopening plan, and provided the adoption website (jacksonanimalcare.com) and the shelter phone number (731-422-7028).
Whitney Owen, with Jackson Animal Care & Control, and officer Michael Ananiya discussed a dog in the shelter named Justice who was initially thought to be a puppy but was later determined to be over a year old and underweight.
Owen said Justice's "growth was actually stunted due to neglect" and that the dog "should be close to 80 or 85 pounds" but is not; staff have put her on a high-quality diet and a grooming/rehabilitation plan. Owen said Justice is good with other animals and children and would make a suitable family pet or a tenant-friendly apartment dog because she is quiet.
The shelter said it would reopen to the public on Thursday after cleaning; Owen provided the shelter website, jacksonanimalcare.com, and a nonemergency/adoption phone number, (731) 422-7028, for inquiries and applications.
