Jefferson City Animal Shelter

I have only been here 1 time. It was about 8-9 years ago. But my dog was the only black dog in there. I fell in love instantly! I got him at supposedly 6 months old.

Not really ever having experienced what people call " unconditional love" Sargeant was happy every day i was lucky to be his "pet human". Having a tough outer skin and a tougher heart, when he died I understood all to well what that love was all about!! It affected me so deeply I cried every time I would have to explain his passing. Never experiencing loss like that, and not wanting to feel the pain of losing that again. I was determined to not to ever hurt like that again so I gave up on a pet of any kind.
