We welcomed Jeffy Myers Neff into our home and family in July of 2018 at the age of 10 ½ years old. This little guy is a survivor and has never-ever looked back!
Our Jeffy spent over a decade living in a puppy mill; most likely in a wire cage (where he ate his meals and did all his business). He was only removed when it was time to breed--over and over again as a stud dog. He never had any medical care, and we believe he never even had a bath. We imagine he ate only junk food and scraps as he was only about 3 pounds when he was rescued. (Now he is a whopping 5.4 pounds!) We know he was neglected and abused. He came to A Tail to Tell with a broken jaw along with a myriad of medical issues. With exceptional help from many awesome vets and specialists, our little fella is thriving now.
Jeffy is a very loving, playful, and trusting dog. Snuggling is his favorite pastime. We carry him around in a doggy baby bjorn. He also has been certified as a therapy dog. He visits rehabs, hospitals, and nursing homes. He loves kids. My niece affectionately calls him her “Jeff-Jeff”.
Steve and I are filled with joy and sincere gratitude to EVERYONE that helped him on his journey.
Thank you for saving him.
With Joy,
Steve and Dena
It took some time for her to trust hands and laps, but she is now a loving, happy little lady and a very important part of our family. Believe it or not, she has inspired us to persevere through tough times. It may seem crazy that this fluffy little chihuahua taught us about strength and grit, but we learned that if this little dog could hang in there until she got a chance to live her best life, surely we can make it through a tough day or two.
