In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for HSN shared: “Millie and Jake were so very pleasant and down to earth, focused solely on the well-being of our animals. At first, our staff did not even realize who they were; they seemed like just another young couple looking for a pet to adopt. Like many people who visit our shelter, they fell in love with one of our residents, Shark (renamed Jabba). It was a very positive and happy experience. They couldn’t have been nicer, and they were obviously there for the right reason, to give a homeless animal a bright future.”
