Tito, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tito
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Male Breed: Jack Russell Terrier mix
Home: Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA
 
   Tito is a rescue puppy from Puerto Rico who was purchased as a birthday present for an eighteen-month-old child. Needless to say, this "present" wasn't appropriate and was locked in the laundry room for the remainder of his stay with this family. A kind young woman next door noticed that the puppy was neglected and also not fed frequently enough for a very young puppy. With Yolanda's help, Tito at three months old, was transferred to an animal shelter in Salem, Massachusetts where it only took us four days to find him.

    When John and I went to the shelter we had decided we wanted a young terrier and the moment we saw Tito we knew he was for us. I work from home and possibly our only fault in raising Tito is that he is spoiled rotten. I give him at least 100 kisses a day and make sure he gets healthy food and lots of exercise. I can see Tito's confidence grow day-by-day and now you would never know he was neglected. He is the most popular/loved dog with the kids in the neighborhood. And as you can tell from the enclosed photo, he is thoroughly enjoying his new life.
