The process of purchasing a new home can be a thrilling one, as you never know what you’re going to find.
It can be cool, scary, or just plain weird what people leave behind after moving.
A live animal is definitely not something you would expect to find there.
In the basement of a newly purchased home in St. Louis, one couple found exactly that.
In order to avoid dealing with their dog, the previous owners chained her up in the basement and left her there without food or water.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis was immediately contacted by the couple after they found the pup and called them for assistance.
Having no idea the dog’s temperament, the rescue team hesitantly descended the stairs, knowing it was best to be cautious.
Nevertheless, as soon as the dog was close enough for them to touch her, she started giving them kisses and wagged her tail.
As the car drove back to the rescue center, the young dog sprawled out on her rescuer, happy to receive attention.
The humans could tell that the dog had been chained in the dark for a long time, but no one knew how long she had been there.
Since then, she hasn’t stopped smiling and waggling her tail the whole way back.
After waiting patiently for three months, she was finally adopted by a loving couple.
Joseph Mills and Kristen Dillingham went to the rescue center just to look around, but as soon as they saw this pooch, they knew she was theirs.
They were finally able to take home their new best friend after filling out the paperwork.
They named the puppy Jumping Bean because she was so energetic and excited about everything.
Jumping Bean’s first few days at home were tough; she went a little crazy when left alone and chewed up multiple pillows and blankets.
Although they accepted it as a nervous dog’s growing pains, she eventually grew out of it.
Whenever her parents come home, she greets them with kisses and waits at the door for them.
Also, she gets very excited every time she sees food; when it’s her turn to eat, she spins in circles.
Now that Jumping Bean lives with her new family, she is the sweetest pup ever; she loves to play and go for walks, and most importantly, she loves to snuggle with them.
If you are considering getting a dog, consider adopting; you would be saving a life. There are thousands of shelter dogs in America who are looking for their forever homes.
