Adoptable senior pup in Kentucky stuns in adorable JCPenney pet portraits
Eight-year-old yellow lab mix Etta is available for adoption at Mispits & Friends Rescue in Louisville
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A yellow Labrador retriever mix in Kentucky is photogenic, adoptable — and desperate for a new home.
Eight-year-old Etta is currently up for adoption at Mispits & Friends Rescue in Louisville, Kentucky.
Etta spent the first six years of her life outside on a chain, according to the shelter.

Mispits & Friends shared that Etta has easily adapted to "inside life" since being taken in.

Etta's two favorite things are kids and car rides, according to the shelter's website.

Etta finally got her big break as a featured pet in JCPenney’s "Portrait for Pups" campaign.
JCPenney is partnering with local animal shelters in 10 different cities across the country to help senior dogs find their forever homes — from now through Feb. 28, according to a press release.

"We’re excited to give the senior dogs in these shelters, who are often less likely to be adopted, their chance to shine and encourage customers to get involved with their local communities to change a pet’s life for the better."
JCPenney highlighted on its website that senior dogs are 60% less likely to get adopted than younger dogs — even though they’re fully grown and have fewer bad habits.
