Jan Jones

Story

Jan retired from the HR field in June, 2011. Her good friend, Patti Kidd, made her aware of DFWPRC in August, 2011 when she asked Jan to go with her to get two pugs from an owner in Ft. Worth that had them for sale on Craigslist. She had already contacted DFWPRC to see if they could take them and got them to the group. Jan began as a transport volunteer with DFW Pug Rescue in early 2012, and took over some administrative duties as well. At the time, she had 3 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues, but none of them were a pug.

She didn’t volunteer to foster originally because she was afraid she’d cave in and knew that she had plenty of pets to love and care for at the time. However, when DFWPRC brought in 37 pugs in March, 2013, Jan volunteered to simply help keep the cages cleaned out, and change out food and water, BUT, this one little pug kept watching her every time she walked by, and the rest is “history”. DFWPRC didn’t have enough fosters at the time, so she volunteered to foster Shania until she was released from medical hold, but when that time came, Jan knew Shania had chosen her and was already home!

In 2020, Jan foster-failed again and adopted Butterfly.
