Pup Gets New Lease On Life Thanks To Mission Viejo Animal Services

MISSION VIEJO, CA — A young dog that was about to be euthanized at an overcrowded shelter in the Inland Empire has a second chance at life after being rescued by the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center's "A Mission for Home Rescue" program.

Jazzy Jeff is a three-year-old boxer mix with an adorable underbite and striking brindle coat. He was described by the center as a sensitive pup with a big heart for love and affection.

"He can be a little strong walking on a leash, so we recommend no children under six-years-old in the home," A Mission Viejo Animal Services Center news release said. "Jazzy Jeff may also do well with another dog in the family that can match his playful energy and friendliness."

Jazzy Jeff knows a couple of basic commands and would benefit from basic training, the city said.

Residents interested in adopted Jazzy Jeff will be happy to know that his adoption fee is being sponsored by DAWG, so he will go home with an approved applicant for $20.
