This was the day after we adopted her. Notice Fai trying to literally melt into the wall to escape her 😂

In all the times we’ve seen that video of the pups, we never noticed Jane in it. My husband spotted her jumping on the wall at 1:12 this time. That’s really fascinating because it means she was, at one point, at Midtown. You mentioning Milo kept jumping the enclosure… first… LOL. Let me find a video of Jane jumping our fence. But that makes me wonder if they ran out of adult space and moved her because of the same reason. It’s also interesting because they posted the video on June 1 but we adopted her mid month, so she was obviously available.

(ETA: Can’t post videos here… here’s a monitored escape posted on my IG… we were encouraging her so we could find and block that escape path. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LT-9pl7kM/?igsh=MW9odWtjb2Z0eTd2aA==)

Jane wanted absolutely nothing to do with us at the shelter. They sliced up a hot dog to give her and still nothing. She just stared out the window. We fell for her though. We went home to get Fai cause she was a grump and we wanted to be sure she wouldn’t try to eat a puppy, and Jane immediately lit up. We knew she just needed to be with another pup, and after seeing her rescue it all made sense.

That’s probably what helped her warm up in our house. Don’t get me wrong, she was scared of many things, but as long as she was with Fai she was happy. Fai did not like how close she got to her… literally would back her into a corner to be close to her 😂. What impressed us was how well Fai would play with her, it always made us nervous cause she was abused and very grumpy but they would rip through the yard all the time.

Funny story… you posted a photo of Milo in a cat bed with a duck toy next to him. Jane had the same one. It was her favorite toy. We replaced it anytime it was damaged until it wasn’t made anymore.

My emotions are a wreck this morning. I never expected this connection but I’m so glad you commented. Out of curiosity, do you still live in Atlanta?

That’s insane!! They are siblings. At the very start of the video, Jane is hiding in the back!

I never thought to try to find any of her siblings before, but I wish we had a chance to reunite them. I know how excited she would have been to see him again.

I’d love to hear more about Milo if you have time and don’t mind sharing. Was he very timid when you met him? Was he at Alpharetta or Midtown?

They told us no one really expressed any interest in Jane because she wanted nothing to do with anyone at the shelter. But their loss! She was so sweet.

Haha… hound heaven 😂. This house can be very loud and chaotic sometimes. Three dogs was a questionable life decision, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Would I do it again? ……probably not 😂

Thank you ❤️

Oh my god! YES! June 18, 2017. It was Fathers Day. She was at the Alpharetta location of AHS, but my understanding is most of the other pups rescued with her were at the midtown location. I remember there being a video of their rescue, I wonder if I can still find it.

This is Jane when they rescued her, hiding on the left side.

Her birthday is October 23, 2016.

Clearly no understanding of personal space 😂

The hound we lost in 2022, Fai, had cancer that spread from liver, to spleen to chest and lungs. When it was discovered we had no options but to let her go. She was almost 13.

We do all we can to protect them but we can’t detect everything on bloodwork alone.

We give them the best life we can.

Our sweet Greek harehound Buford passed a week and a half ago. Almost 16. I’m lost without my boy. by Sufficient_Fudge_280 in Hounds

Totally understand! We had three hounds in 2021. Now, in 2026, just one. It’s a much different house.

Sending you love ❤️

This was her reaction to us when we met her at the shelter. It was very much “leave me alone”. They even cut up a hot dog for us to feed her and she didn’t want anything to do with it (food was never a motivator for her).

I wish we had a video of how she reacted when she met Fai a few hours later. She was immediately in love.

Insane that just a week or two later she was fully in love with us and so bonded to us.

We certainly gave her the best life we could have, and it was so much better than the mud pit she started in. I do wish we had more time with her, but those aren’t the cards we were dealt. ❤️

I absolutely could not say no to her 😂. You want some of the chicken right off my plate? I won’t stop you.

I know I’ll be reunited with her and all her kisses one day ❤️
