World-famous West Chester dog with spina bifida finds fur-ever home after going viral
WEST CHESTER TWP., Ohio (FOX19) - A local pup who became famous in January has been adopted!
Jack, a 9-month old American Bully with cuteness to spare, has spina bifida. That means he’ll require some special love and care from his new owner.
Peaches Bully Rescue has no doubt he’ll get it.
The rescue received hundreds of applications for Jack’s adoption after a Facebook post (below) went viral with the sad news that a person who was supposed come meet Jack in January failed to show up.
The post garnered thousands of comments and tens of thousands of shares in just days. It had reached 3 million people by the month’s end, the rescue said. Well-wishes, gifts and financial donations for Jack and other dogs flowed in.
The rescue’s volunteer team worked hard to respond to every application. They didn’t disclose the owner Tuesday, but they did issue the following statement:
“Jack has found his home! After multiple false starts in securing his fur-ever home, this little wiggle butt was excited to start the next chapter in his life. He has a human sister to love on him, lots of toys and diapers that this gracious community donated, and a new stroller to ride around in style.”
Jack’s family has started an Instagram page for him.
