Hello. My name is Jasper and I am an 8 year old rescued toy poodle. My family consists of my human Momma, {Cynthia} and my human Sissy, {Tessia}. We live in NW Arkansas, and this is my story (as much as my Momma knows).
Up until my Momma found me, I was living in a home in Texas where my family did not care very well for me. They always left me outside, even in the freezing cold, and did not provide a house for me. I was kept chained up all the time. I never received any love and attention. I was so sad all the time.
Finally, someone came to the house and took me away. I lived for a short while in the "pound" before I was rescued by a Poodle Rescue organization in North Arkansas. My rescuers placed my "personal ad" on the Pet Finders web site and that is when my Momma saw me for the very first time. As soon as she saw me, she made the call. She and sissy drove 86 miles to pick me up. It was love at first site.
I had a name then, but I did not like it at all...... Fats. I suppose I was named after Fats Domino, I don't know. Sissy and Momma talked all during the drive home trying to figure out a new name for me and they could not agree on anything. Until finally, they stopped in a little sightseeing town on the way home. They were going to take turns going into a gift shop....one going in while the other held me on my leash outside....but the saleslady said it was okay to bring me in. My Momma hesitated (after all, she did not know me very well), but decided it would be okay. So, we went in and I was VERY GOOD. Everytime my Momma and Sissy would stop to look at something, I would stop and sit at their feet and not move a muscle. They were very impressed. The saleslady was too. So, that is how I got my name....the name of the little town where they stopped was Jasper, Arkansas.
This photo of me was taken right after Momma and Sissy got me home. As you can see, I was very happy to have them as my new family.
As you can see in the photo below, I love to sit in my Momma's lap while she reads other poodle blogs.

Welcome Jasper!
My Mama is amazed at how much we look alike! I think your story is fantastic because of the happy ending. Tell your new family that having a poodle is one of the most incredible blessings a human can have. Your mom and step sister will lavish you with hugs and kisses.....you deserve it!
Pooey on your old so called family.
I hope they get locked out of the house on the coldest day ever and nobody ever pays attention to them.
