Welcome to the Jackson County Animal Shelter
In Memory of Pandora
She came to the shelter as a stray kitten without a home.
She seemed to have a way of saying she would fit in just fine,
If we would adopt her to the shelter and give her a chance.
We were yet to find out that she would become the boss.
We gave her the name of "Pandora" for such a unique girl she would become.
Throughout the years, she would grow on us.
She would greet all the new animals and try her best to find each one a home.
She would sit in the window as if to say, "good-bye and good luck" on their way out the gate.
When sadness was among us, she seemed to say, "it will be alright, just hang in there".
She brought laughter to all of us in trying to teach everyone what she knew.
It was as if she was an angel sent down to guide us through.
But now she is gone, only to return as a angel to watch over us.
Her purrs will remain deep within our hearts, and Pandora will never be forgotten.
