Jesse

My story

From the streets… to safety… to love. 💔➡️❤️ Everyone, meet Jesse — or as we lovingly call her, Pipsqueak. 🐾 Just a few weeks ago, Jesse was fighting for her life on the side of a dangerously busy road in Braselton - Jesse Chronic. Likely dumped and left to fend for herself, she was first spotted on June 15th — scared, starving, and completely alone. For nearly two weeks, Jesse evaded rescue despite the desperate efforts of dozens of kind-hearted strangers. She survived severe storms, brutal heat, and long, lonely nights in the woods — too terrified to trust, but still holding on. Then… a miracle. 💫 Thanks to the incredible team at Safelite Distribution Center, who patiently earned her trust, Jesse was finally brought to safety. Our PAC board member — with a soft spot for beagles and a heart the size of Georgia — rushed to her side. What we found was heartbreaking: a tiny, frail body riddled with 66 ticks, dangerously dehydrated, and completely shut down emotionally. She was in pain. She was exhausted. But she was finally safe. ❤️‍🩹 The amazing team at Chateau Animal Hospital gave her immediate care. Because of the severity of her condition, Jesse had to be fully sedated to remove every single tick — each one a painful reminder of what she had endured. The first 48 hours were devastating. Jesse would scream if you tried to touch her — the trauma was still so raw. But then, something changed… On her own terms, she came forward… and gently laid her head in a volunteer’s lap. Just needing to feel loved. 🥹 Every day, her ears heal. Her heart softens. And her spirit shines brighter. Now… Jesse is ready for the next chapter of her journey — a soft bed, a gentle hand, and a forever (or foster!) home filled with love. Can you be the one to show her that not all humans hurt… some heal? 💕 🦴 Apply to foster or adopt Jesse here: 👉 https://www.pupandcatco.com She is dog and kid friendly!
