Owner Info: Sadie is
only 8 months old and unfortunately is an outdoor dog who needs some extra
attention and guidance since losing her sight that her owners are unable to
give her. Her owner says, "She lost her vision
abruptly and was diagnosed with SARDS. She is so sweet and loving and playful.
Obedient by nature she listens well and is always willing to please. My heart
is broken that this is happening but because she is an outside dog we won't be
able to assist her in adapting to this new way of life. She needs a home where
she will be able to stay inside and have a opener who is patent and sensitive
to her blindness." According to her owners, "This is the first step I
have taken. I live in a small town and am reluctant to shelter her or give her
to the first person who says they will take her on. I need help to find a
responsible and knowledgeable owner who will love her beyond her shortcomings
with vision. We also have word of mouth and the vet clinic is sharing her story
as well."
Sadie is currently an outdoor dog
with a fenced yard. She is not yet housebroken or leash trained due to being
kept outside. Her owner reports that Sadie is good with pretty much everyone
except cats that she hasn't had any experience with yet. She is good with
younger kids, dogs, men and women. She currently shares the outdoor space with
her litter mate and another dog who is a Maltese. She does know some commands
like "sit" and "come." She is not possessive with treats,
toys or food and has never shown aggression. Actually, her owner said, "We
have a small dog and a 2 year old. He can literally pull toys from her mouth.
She is gentle and loves little kids, has always been around them, a big people
dog, she needs human interaction."
Sadie's owner feels she adapts well
to new situations,and writes, "she is young and healthy and happy so
chances are good that she will adapt well to a new situation."
Her owner wants others to know that
"She is a blessing and her life deserves the best attention and potential
happiness it can offer. I can't do this alone. I need resources and help
re-homing her, I hope you'll have the opportunity to make a difference in
Sadie's life and in the future be the person blessed enough to raise her."
