All eyes were on this shelter dog.
A Siberian husky named Jubilee whose breeder dumped her at a New Jersey shelter because of her “weird” eyelid deformity now has a forever home — after her story and photos went viral.
The nonprofit Husky House shelter in Matawan, which cared for Jubilee for two years, decided to post a desperate pitch for potential adopters — in Jubilee’s “voice” — to Facebook on Tuesday.
“I came from a ‘breeder’ who couldn’t sell me because he said I was ‘weird’ looking,” the post said. “Huskies are majestic looking dogs and I don’t know why I don’t look like them. I wish I was beautiful so someone would want me to be their dog.”
“I like other dogs, but I don’t like cats,” the post continued. “I love people, but I’m a little shy because people mostly laugh at the way I look. Doesn’t anyone want a funny looking husky? I wish I had a family of my own who could love me even though I’m not pretty.”
Jubilee has a congenital birth defect of her eyelids that does not affect her vision or health, the shelter said. No one had ever before submitted an application to adopt her.
But by Saturday — with more than 40,000 shares on the post — the shelter announced that Jubilee would be going home to a loving family.
“Thanks to everyone who shared Jubilee’s story,” the shelter wrote. “She has found her forever home with previous Husky House adopters and joins her new fur-siblings in a wonderful new life!”
Jubilee’s new parents decided to start a Facebook page for her to keep the fans of the now-famous pup in the loop. The page refers to the pup as “a uniquely beautiful furbaby.”
