Jolene is an adorable Chihuahua who doesn’t even need to make an effort to charm people around her. That’s because of her natural eyebrow-like markings that make you look into her soulful and innocent eyes.
The story of how Jolene and her owner, 45-year-old pharmacy technician Jessica Hawkins, shows just how charismatic Jolene is. She may be a pampered pooch now but Jolene was actually rescued from a neglectful home.
It happened when Jessica was at her night shift on December 2016 and a customer arrived at the drive-through of the pharmacy. From inside the car, out popped Jolene’s face from underneath a blanket and according to Jessica, she immediately ‘fell in love’ with the pooch.
As it turned out, the customer was an animal rescue volunteer who was on the way to an animal rescue shelter to drop off Jolene. Jessica decided to adopt her then and there.
Jessica named the rescued pooch Jolene after one of the most popular songs of Dolly Parton. Three years later, Jolene and her new family have been having the time of their lives and the little pooch never fails to turn heads thanks to her adorable eyebrows.
The mother-of-two from Chattanooga, Tennessee, said: “I was at work late one night, it was three days before Christmas, and I had a gentleman enter the drive-through to fill a prescription.
“When I opened the window to talk to him, I saw this little head pop up out of some blankets in his lap. She was adorable and had the most amazing markings that looked like eyebrows.
“I asked him where he got her, and he told me that he had just rescued her from a really bad situation and was about to take her to an animal shelter.
“She was looking at me, and I just knew it was meant to be. I told him that I’d love to have her, and he handed her to me through the drive-through window.
“It was an incredible coincidence, and it just shows how everything happens for a reason. I was meant to be her mommy.
“She fit into our family perfectly. It was like she was the missing puzzle piece.”
The pup’s name was ‘Maybelline’ prior to adoption but Jessica decided ‘Jolene’ was better especially since she’s a huge Dolly Parton fan.
She said: “Being from Tennessee, we’re big fans of Dolly Parton, so we named her after the song Jolene.
“She is definitely a southern girl at heart, and people will always start singing ‘Jolene’ to her.
“I think Dolly and Jolene have a lot in common. They both have a flair for the dramatic and they’re both good singers.
“When Jolene starts barking, she can bust out a good tune just like Dolly.”
People are just charmed by Jolene’s eyebrows and some even thought that they were just drawn on.
She said: “Her eyebrows are what makes her extra special, although we’d love her with or without them.
“People often think that I’ve drawn her eyebrows on, which is ridiculous, but they can’t believe that they’re real.
“These are the exact kind of eyebrows that women want these days. They’re thick, beautiful, big eyebrows and totally on-trend.
“Everywhere we go, people will stop and stare. They’ll often say ‘Oh my god! Did you see that dog? She has eyebrows!’
“I’ve never seen any other dogs with eyebrows like that. She could be the only one in the world.
“She draws a lot of attention and people definitely always notice her. Jolene just naturally draws people in with her charisma and charm.
“Everyone thinks she is amazing. And Jolene knows she is beautiful and can be a bit of a diva.
“Anyone who meets her just falls in love with her as I did. She has been a blessing for us, she is a very sweet dog and we love her so much.”
