She is the BEST dog! As you can see her and Rosie are good friends.
Sadie loves to swim at the dog beach and is very sociable. She learns
quickly and opens the patio door to let herself in from the backyard.
Now if she would just close it behind her.
I work with people with
Alzheimer's Disease and Sadie seems to know she should be extra gentle
when she comes to visit. She is a great
advocate for Shepherd rescue because whenever I am complimented on
her looks or behavior, I tell people where we adopted her and about Petfinder.com.

While in rescue:
Paige (renamed Sadie), Piper, Phoebe — Adopted
on September 28, 2003
While
in rescue: Phoebe had the blonde face, the other two were interchangeable
(Phoebe and Piper shown left). They were 12-14 weeks old and were
going to be huge! They were very sweet and cuddly and would be wonderful
dogs. They had a very rough life. Their previous owner's intact dogs
bred together (unplanned) and resulted in a litter of nine pups.
The owner sold three, and was going to shoot the other six. He wound
up taking them to his local pound. They had excellent care from the
people at the shelter, but during a brief visit to the veterinarian,
contracted Parvo from another litter of puppies. They were in foster
care when they became ill, but due to the nature of Parvo, three
puppies didn't make it. These three sisters were the only ones left,
and after all of this movement and trauma, through cooperation of
multiple shelters, rescues, and foster homes, these girls have been
saved. We want to thank everyone who was involved. |
