Here's what the humans have to say about me:
AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT...SADIE IS SAFE
Sadie is a three year old sheltie-corgi mix who landed in our rescue program by fate. On a long transport to pick up Ismir, two of our volunteers passed a small high kill shelter and decided to stop. When they walked into the building they found out there were no boxers in the shelter, but pressed against the front of a wire kennel was a sad little dog named Sadie.
Sadie did not bark or whine; she just looked up at them with the most incredible expressive eyes they had ever seen. When they knelt to talk to her, she moved but she did not stand…they were concerned at first that something might be wrong with her hind end. When they walked a few steps away from her she whimpered to get their attention and they knew they could not leave her there.
We learned that Sadie was surrendered to the shelter by a woman who only had her for two weeks after getting her from a friend. She dropped off Sadie along with Sadie’s eight month old daughter. The puppy was quickly adopted, however, they left Sadie behind.
When our volunteers inquired about Sadie, the shelter staff was elated that our rescue was interested. They said to go ahead and take her because they kill dogs every day, and Sadie had already been there for over a week.
As soon as they left the shelter, they took Sadie for a much needed 'spa' treatment. Although it was late in the day, and there were no available appointments, the groomers at Petco decided they would fit her in when they saw her. Poor Sadie was very worried at first when she was handed over to them. She was most likely afraid that she was being discarded once again.
While Sadie was being groomed, NBR made purchases to replace her worn dirty collar with a cute harness and matching leash. After an hour and a half, the groomer came out with Sadie all nice and clean holding her like a newborn baby. Sadie looked so content and ever so pretty. Our volunteers happily carried her out the door to take Sadie to her next new adventure.
Sadie rode great in the car, chose to curl up on our volunteer’s lap, and quickly fell asleep. She was a joy to have in the car, and was a wonderful trip companion. They proceeded on their journey to pick up Ismir and, after a long trip, Sadie was taken to meet her new foster mom and dad.
This is the fist report from Sadie’s foster mom:
“Well, we have been home now for a little over four hours with Sadie. The first hour was a slow process. Sadie finally went to the bathroom, ate a little supper and then a little more as she discovered that she was very hungry!!!
I had to pick her up and stroke and cuddle with her for a while as she was a little shy once in the house. Sadie finally came around and actually started playing with her toy…we are going to the pet store tomorrow and see what else we can find to play with!!!!
She really likes to have her belly rubbed. I took a couple of pictures of her in HER chair. For some reason, she decided that she likes my husband’s chair and as fast as she is out of it she jumps right back up and curls up for a snooze. She has taken a few naps over the past few hours as she seems to be a little tired with all that traveling.
Sadie looks at our cat BOO with longing in her eyes as though she would dearly love to make friends with him. BOO is tolerating her presence and does not seem to be threatened by her so far....eventually they will both come to some kind of understanding.
My daughter also came by this evening and was surprised (we didn't have time to tell her that we had picked up our foster) and so thrilled to see another dog in the house. Sadie and Shaina bonded instantly and my daughter laughed and said...."I think that Sadie is going to be a little bit of a princess". Whatever she is she is awfully cute and appears to be moving right into her foster home.
How fortunate for Sadie that you decided to stop and check out that shelter on your way to rescue the other dog. ”
