Kids take longer to recover after multiple concussions

In the study, “Time Interval Between Concussions and Symptom Duration,” in the July 2013 Pediatrics, researchers studied 280 patients between the ages of 11 and 22 who were treated in the emergency department for concussion symptoms.

It has taken all the way until June to see, but Jacob is a Christmas miracle.  This special Friend was rescued by PAWS right before Christmas 2012.  By the way he looked, Jacob had a very rough neglected life thus far.  He was filthy, and his fur was matted so much that it looked like he did not have any eyes.  Once the fur was cut away, his eyes needed treatment for infections.  In early January, after dental work, neuter, and full veterinary care/vaccinations, Jacob could begin his road to full recovery.

Today, Jacob is a new dog.  He is a very happy, lovable sweetheart who deserves lots of love and companionship.  Jacob will surely return the gesture with plenty of love, snuggles, and kisses of his own!  Jacob is wonderful with other dog and cats too.  So, come check him out!  Jacob has put on his best collar shirt, fitted to impress.  He deserves to feel the love and comfort of a forever home for the rest of his days.  You can end this story with a happily ever after, while adding a new best Friend to your heart and home.

To adopt Jacob today, contact the Public Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) of Ohio at 440-442-PAWS, email adoption@pawsohio.org, or visit www.pawsohio.org.
