EUPORA — A dog abandoned in Mississippi has a new home with the vice president’s son — Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden.
Officials at shelters in Eupora and in Nantucket, Massachusetts, tell The Clarion-Ledger how the 9-month-old Labrador mix found her new home.
Barb Mauller runs Little Mountain Rescue in her home in Eupora, Mississippi, about 100 miles from Jackson. She says she regularly drives dogs 1,500 miles to Nantucket Safe Harbor for Animals because they’re hard to place in Mississippi.
The Biden family spends Thanksgivings in Nantucket.
Nantucket shelter president Pamela Murphy says the dog, wearing an “adopt me” scarf, was being walked on Nov. 28 and a family fell in love with her.
She says shelter officials learned who the family was when Biden filled out adoption forms Saturday.
