Those lucky enough to be in Jacob’s orbit knew his magic. Few, however, understood his struggles. Haunted by memories of past trauma Jacob sometimes relied too much on partying with friends, and alcohol and drugs as an escape. For him, that was a double edged sword. When he went to that he was trigged from memories of growing up and the rawness of the trauma crept back in. in In 2021 he began a brave journey of rehabilitation and trauma-recovery and that's when Corduroy entered his life. She was a partner in his recovery, and an embodiment of his progress which was his proudest life achievement. She gave him hope and a reason to keep going. Corduroy saved his life many times... until the day she couldn't.

Jacob Douglas Peck died on June 11, 2024, at 39 years old. That day, Corduroy was taken by Jacob’s “friend,” who carelessly separated his fur babies and dismantled his family. Jacob moved beyond the party lifestyle she maintains, and he did not trust her to care for Corduroy. She selfishly refuses to return Corduroy, who has already been suffering neglect. Seemingly in denial of Jacob's rehabilitation, his family has been complicit, forcing us to fight for Corduroy's return in Probate Court. They're using Jacob's own money to fight returning Corduroy to the only other home she'd ever known, where Jacob wanted her to be. It's not right, and it's incredibly sad. Jacob deserves better.

We need your help to bring her home.
