One firefighter’s welcome home after a 24-hour shift included a pretty memorable surprise from his wife Alyana: Ivy the dog! 💚
Adopted from JHS, Ivy became a new member of the family, and her adopter describes her as a calm, sweet girl who loves cuddles, toys, and meeting people.
When asked what she wished people knew about adopting a big dog, Ivy’s adopter put it simply: “Size doesn’t make up a dog’s personality.”
That’s why we’re sharing stories like hers through Go Big. Go Home Together. Spending time with a dog gives you a chance to learn who they are and what life together could look like.
Come meet someone new October 17–18, when adoption fees will be waived for dogs and cats at JHS and ACPS. Learn more at jaxhumane.org/gobig.
