Jane

 

 

Everyone will remember Jane as the itty-bitty pitty with the big personality. Jane was energetic, fun loving, and totally enamored of Linus. It was impossible to feel bad about the world if Jane was by your side. She may have been small in size, but she enjoyed life around her in a very big way. Because she was such a wonderful dog, a Texas rescue had chosen to bring her back to their shelter, where she would be well cared for until her family could be located, or until a new family could bring her home. Jane was almost out of Tylertown and on her way to Texas, but she became frightened on the transport vehicle and couldn’t go. So, Jane waited until the next rescue came along to help her. Sadly, that “rescue” was Sandi Coy and her destination was not a warm and caring shelter, but a small dirt area outside in the cold at the end of a chain.

 What happened to Jane after she was taken from Tylertown for Kentucky?

Jane was re-rescued from Kentucky, but was returned to Tylertown with a significantly different bark and an underlying infection that was not detected until her death. Jane was spayed following her return to Tylertown, but was found dead in her doghouse a few days after her surgery. Upon examination of Jane’s lifeless body, the vet determined that she died from a cause not related to the spay surgery. An examination was requested of Jane’s trachea to determine why her bark had changed so significantly between her transport to Kentucky with Coy and her return to Tylertown was also requested. An unfortunate circumstance did not allow for this request to be granted, so the cause of Jane’s change in bark remains unknown.

 Where is Jane’s family?

 Jane was never given the chance for her owners to find her after Hurricane Katrina. If you or some family you know believes that Jane may have been their lost Katrina dog, please contact Johnna Harris at johnna.harris@gmail.com
