Rescue Dog of the Week: Jitterbug the Shepherd/Mastiff Mix

Jitterbug is a 2-year-old female shepherd/mastiff mix. This poor pup came to the shelter with a litter of puppies. Her collar was on so tightly, it was embedded in her neck. But now Jitterbug has learned to wag her tail and is devoted to those who reach out to pet her or take her for a walk. Jitterbug is spayed and up to date on her routine shots. This pooch is looking for a second chance at life with a great new forever home.

It does not take dogs in. It rescues only from shelters. Its adoption days are normally held every Saturday at the West Hollywood Petco at 508 N. Doheny Drive from 1-4 p.m. Click here for information on how to adopt a rescue dog from Ace of Hearts.
