Pet Owners Share Heartwarming Stories of Adopting Neglected Shelter Animals

Rescued from Kentucky, brought to Heartland Animal Shelter of Northbrook, Illinois "One thing that was unusual about her is that she would not go up or down stairs inside a building. She has this real fear. She must have had a terrible experience that made her afraid. Janey follows me everywhere. It's great and I love it. I don't know much about her accept she's incredibly appreciative and loving dog and it's been a wonderful month." Tom Wood, Lake Blusa, Illinois.
