I was out and about on Saturday (imagine that) and I happened upon a pet adoption event in front of Cricket Wireless. I recognized a few familiar faces but I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn for the first time. She was in her element with a mixture of all kinds of puppies and full grown dogs. She was large and in charge (though she isn’t large – that is just an expression.) I knew there was a story there and possibly two. The quick story I wrote about the event and the one I haven’t written – about her. Like everyone, she has a story. I just don’t know about it yet. Her business card has her job title as “Chief Miracle-Maker.” I know that must be true. And, how often have you heard Miracle-Maker? Not often. I’ve heard of a Miracle-Worker which means someone works on making miracles happen. However, Jennifer doesn’t work on it – she makes miracles happen. She puts together dogs that were destined to be euthanized in local shelters into loving homes. She is on her way to doing that almost two-hundred times this year with her team of volunteer foster homes. This was her first event in Navarre, but it won’t be her last. Please read the story on the pet page to find out about Ellie Mae’s big adventure.
