Story
We bought Sadie at 6 weeks old from a person in Lockhart. TX in Jan. 2019. Her parents were working livestock guardian dogs. She lived inside with us for the first several months, then transitioned to inside and out and finally just outside. We keep her in an outdoor kennel but can tell she really isn't happy there. There was a time we did let her roam but as we found out, these dogs do not stay within a certain boundry unless they have a reason (a flock to guard). We now have several small grandchildren that live on the property with us (daughter and son-in-law as well) and since Sadie wasn't socialized around small children were not comfortable letting her roam freely. We are hoping to find a home for her where she can either roam freely or settle down inside with the right person (people). She has a sweet disposition, understands basic commands and does mind except when it comes to roaming. We know that is just bred within so don't hold that against her.

These pups are in Houston, Texas too!

Story
Hannah was saved back in March. Her owners decided one day they didn’t want her anymore, so they locked her out of her yard and replaced her with a new puppy. Hannah’s life continued to get worse from there. While living as an unwanted dog, she was shot at, and the bullet is still in her hip. She was also hit by a car at some point and has some old fractures in her back end that healed incorrectly but are too old to repair. She struggled gaining weight for a while. A vet trip for what we thought was a UTI ended up in her being diagnosed with diabetes. Her diabetes journey has not been easy, and recently resulted in an ER trip for nearing DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition that can occur when blood sugar levels become too high and there is not enough insulin to control them). Fortunately, after having the ER stabilize her and take over her care, she’s been making steady improvements. Hannah is dog & cat friendly. She loves to go on walks, is good on a leash and loves car rides. She fears thunderstorms/fireworks. She wants to be with her human all the time and loves belly rubs. She is more on the dominant side. On occasion she will engage in play with other dogs. She is good using a doggy door except when her numbers are high (frequent urination can be common in diabetic dogs). As far as the bullet and bad hip, you’d never even know that something is wrong. She runs and jumps very well and doesn’t show any signs of pain. Hannah is a very sweet girl that just wants love. She loves to snuggle up on the couch/bed and is also good with children!
