Puppies looking for special kind of love
Seven-week-old Labrador-mix puppies Jack and Jill have been receiving nationwide attention since they arrived at the Galveston County Animal Shelter earlier this week, and it is not because of their blue eyes and cute faces. The puppies were brought to the shelter because of their special needs but have since been transferred to the St. Francis Animal Sanctuary in Vermillion, Ohio, which specializes in care for such animals. They can't walk normally because of severe deformities to their hind legs. Jack and Jill were born otherwise normal, healthy puppies to a mother who had been hit by car while she was pregnant. The two suffered the most severe injuries of the litter. Gwen Norman, the administrative assistant at the Galveston County Animal Shelter said that, despite their disabilities, the two puppies can move around very well.

How wonderful that they are getting a chance! I don't have a dog with a deformity, but I do have a deaf and vision impaired dog. She's incredible! You forget sometimes that she can't hear you or see you past so many feet. Impaired animals, no matter what their needs deserve loving forever homes. Someone dumped my precious girl at the cemetery. That was one of the best days of my life! If you are able to help an impaired animal, do so! It is so rewarding! They are just as loving and grateful as a healthy animal! You will truely be blessed!
Jack and Jill, you are both just adorable!! Many thanks to all involved in giving these furbabies a chance for their own forever homes - regardless of how special their needs may be! God Bless!!
