🎄 A Christmas Miracle Named Jefferson 🐾
Earlier this year, a stray dog wandered into the JCMS/JCMFT parking lot. Thanks to the compassion of our staff and the dedication of JCMS physician Dr. Carol Leitner and Keith Roberts, that stray found more than just a home—he found his calling.
Meet Jefferson! After completing training at Highland Canine Training Center in Hanceville, AL, Jefferson excelled so remarkably that his trainer, Wyatt, adopted him. Today, Jefferson helps train other dogs in obedience, serves as a model for prospective dog trainers, and is learning agility training.
From parking lot stray to professional training assistant—Jefferson's journey reminds us that compassion and second chances can transform lives.
Wishing everyone a season filled with kindness, hope, and the joy of making a difference. 🎅🐕
Happy Holidays from all of us!

Community. Creativity. Compassion. ❤️
Women from JCMS, JCMA, and ANNO came together to support the Megan Montgomery Foundation. Through the joy of building gingerbread houses for "The Gingerbread Jam," funds were raised for this important cause. It's truly a privilege to support the Megan Montgomery Foundation and the incredible work they do to "Stop relationship violence BEFORE it starts." Thank you to everyone who made this fun and meaningful collab possible! 🏠✨

The DEA warns of a widespread fraud scheme where scammers impersonate DEA agents to extort money or steal personal information. Real DEA personnel never demand money or payment, never request sensitive information over the phone, and only notify people of investigations in person or by official letter. No legitimate federal law enforcement officer will ever demand cash or gift cards. Only share money, gift cards, or personal information with people you know.
