Hornblower San Diego, Senior Sales Manager, Jackie Campbell always jokes that her dog Peanut is the “Best $25 I have ever spent”. One Saturday morning, she quietly made her way to the County Animal Shelter in hopes of saving a dog and adding enjoyment to her life. As she waked the halls of the shelter, she wished she could take all the dogs home. Jackie came across a few dogs that fit her needs and spent some time with each of them to see if they connected. "Jasmine" was an 11-pound Dachshund mix that that wanted to explore rather than connect with Jackie. After a few minutes, she said to the shelter volunteer, “maybe she is not the dog for me”… Jackie took a seat on the bench feeling conflicted when out of nowhere “Jasmine” jumped on the bench and into Jackie’s arms. It sealed the deal and Jackie took her home an hour later. Jackie renames her new dog, Peanut. Jackie says, “She has made my life joyful with her silly noise, adorable faces and complete dedication. I am her human mother and she is my fur-child! I couldn’t be happier and I'm pretty sure she couldn’t be either!”

Crew "Pet of the Week" goes to Jillian Vandagriff, Group Sales Manager: Eric and I decided that we wanted a dog and we both felt strongly that we would find one to adopt from a rescue. We went to a few rescue events and didn't really find anyone that we connected too or felt that they were "our dog". That all changed after I convinced him to go up to Helen Woodward early one day. We got there shortly after they opened and took a walk around. All of a sudden as we walked by a kennel that held 4 month old “Aleena”, Eric felt these little paws around his calf. Aleena had reached out and given his leg a hug. The volunteer asked us if we wanted to go in a take a look, we walked into the kennel and she jumped into his arms. I asked him if we needed to look anymore and he said "no, she found us!" An hour later we were taking her home and we named her Maggie. She has been such a joy to us and we can’t imagine our life or family without her in it. (Submitted by Jillian Vandagriff with huge thanks for her support of Pet Day on the Bay and the PR efforts!
