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.

Paige (renamed Sadie)
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.
