Yay... Jubilee has been adopted!



About two years ago, a breeder in New Jersey brought a husky to a rescue group, saying he wasn't able to sell her because she was "weird" looking.

The dog — named Jubilee — had an eyelid condition that made her eyes look wide open, as if she was always surprised. The congenital condition didn't affect her vision or her overall health.

Jubilee settled in at Husky House in Matawan, New Jersey, stirring up little interest and no applications. But last week, the rescue group put out a plea for the sweet girl.

"My name is Jubilee. I'm a 4 year old female husky who has been with Husky House for a long time. I came from a 'breeder' who couldn't sell me because he said I was 'weird' looking. Huskies are majestic looking dogs and I don't know why I don't look like them," said the heartbreaking Facebook post. "I wish I was beautiful so someone would want me to be their dog."

The Facebook post was shared nearly 50,000 times, and the applications started to pour in.

"Since her original Facebook post had gone viral, we received an overwhelming amount of love, support and inquiries," a Husky House representative tells MNN. "We are so happy to see that everyone feels she is as wonderful as we always knew she was. The responses have been, overall, very positive."

Do they dry out? Do they make her uncomfortable. Can she sleep?

Glad that she found a loving home.
