And they&#8217;ve treated her very well over the years. And they are very supportive of Griffin Pond. And we just wanted to be here to help promote it,\u201d said Revak.<\/p>\n<p>John and Mia\u2019s story has touched hearts throughout the community. After volunteering at Griffin Pond, John noticed something special about Mia. He shared how their bond began and the companionship they now share.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMia was found in a ditch in Georgia with a broken back and starving. And they brought her up to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. And she was there for a number of years. And I volunteer at Griffin Pond, walking dogs, cleaning whatever they need. And I just fell in love with this little girl. And I said, you know what? She&#8217;s been in the shelter too long, and I&#8217;ve had her for almost three years because I think she needed a better life. And I take her everywhere. She my constant companion. She goes to the casino, she goes to stores, she goes anywhere they allow dogs,\u201d said Revak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd she&#8217;s always welcome here. And they treat her very well here,\u201d said Revak.<\/p>\n<p>To adopt or support Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">click here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CARBONDALE, LACKAWANNA CO.
