We sleep in a world where animals aren’t always treated the way that they deserve. They’re abandoned, misused, and a few are even made to try to horrible things to other animals. Fortunately, this dog, who was rescued from a terrible life, has found an eternal home despite the ups and downs in the past. Anne and Vic met the dog two years ago when the Brandywine Valley SPCA asked if there was any way they might foster him after being rescued, along side 11 other dogs, from a dog fighting ring.
While Jingles was a sweet animal, he had been badly abused; he was way underweight, covered in wounds, and suffered from severe anxiety. He coped with his stress by gnawing at his own paws and tail.

Vic has also had a discount in health problems, and he’s now down 60 pounds! All because of Jingles.
