Submitted / TPI Jennie Zinn, front, poses with Paige Kyser Morrow, left, Zinn’s daughter Abigail and two employees from the Town of Eclectic. They rescued a dog and puppies from under a building near the pecan grove in downtown Eclectic.
One dog many have seen in downtown Eclectic has been rescued — along with six 2-week old puppies. Lake Martin Animal Rescue owner Jennie Zinn has had her eye on the dog for a while. It’s now a rescue she and her 11-year-old daughter will remember for a lifetime.
Zinn had spotted the dog with an intact male about two months ago. She was able to catch him and get the now-neutered male adopted. Next was the shy female. It’s an animal Zinn has seen for more than three years roaming all of Eclectic, staying most recently around the pecan grove and sheds near downtown.
