Hi friends! This is Jack. He's 13 years old, blind, deaf, and a total sweetheart! Here at BrightStar Care, we treat our clients like family. When one of our clients passed away, leaving Jack behind, our staff member Kelsey graciously adopted him with open arms. Jack's vet family at Mission Park Pet Hospital left a wonderful Google review for us the other day:... **I work at a pet hospital and just found out one of our dog mommies and volunteer passed away from a call from the daughter I believe.** Kelsey came in with the [blind AND deaf] dog and let us know that she adopted him from her when she passed and I was brought to tears. We remembered her always helping the client and dog when they had to come here and Im so happy to hear there are still good people in this world. This company not only goes above and beyond for their patients, but they have even ADOPTED a dog from one who passed. She must have loved Kelsey dearly to trust her with her own dog/baby Jack the Pug. Thank you BrightStar for hiring people to do what they do. I wish there were more like you and I will recommend you to anyone looking for assistance in their homes #puglife
