Courtesy Listing* – SADIE in Bullhead City, AZ

SADIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!

Her name is Sadie and she is 4 years old.  She was rescued from a local shelter.  The reason the owner took her to the pound was because “she was too old”.  She doesn’t even look 4 more like a 2 year old.

She is timid but wanting to come out of her shell.. All she wants is to be in your lap getting loved on.

As far as other dogs I have 3.  She has let them all know she doesn’t want to be messed with but will walk around with them in the house just fine.  Her toys are hers...period.S  he has not shown any signs of food aggression.  We also have a kitten who she has also let know she is the boss... it is all growling no serious aggression.  She is happiest when she is the only dog out in the house but will tolerate others.

She is a good eater and plays with her food by throwing it up in the air, it is very funny to watch.  She allows me to take her food away with no issues.

She was a very good car passenger, very calm and no sickness.

She has had previous training as she comes when called and will sit on command.  I am still working with her to see what else she knows.  She still needs to be spayed which will be scheduled this week.

She is a very sweet girl that needs a forever home so she knows she is safe.

I would recommend a home with one other dog at the MOST but feel she would be happiest with a stay home mom or dad and her to just be the Queen of the house.  I also recommend no kids under 13 and a semi mellow household.  She is a mellow girl who just wants a home to call her own.

Sight for Sonny!

 

Sonny convalescing from his eye surgery checking out his Dad at the Pet Expo this weekend.  Check out the hotrod stroller that his new Mom and Dad got on the cheap from Craigslist for Sonny because he is not yet cleared from his vet for normal socialization activity with other dogs, which we understand Sonny loves!

Sightforsonny

 

Sonny was surrendered to the Arizona Humane Society undernourished and with severely limited eyesight.  After visiting several vets, AZBTR determined from eye care specialists to find out that he had extensive cataracts that could be corrected.  AZBTR covered the extensive medical expenses for eye surgery.  It was a lot to spend on one dog, but the right thing for us to do for Sonny.  He was an otherwise perfectly healthy, young boy who just wanted to finally enjoy life.   After his surgery, Sonny is still the same sweet boy but a different dog now that he can see!

Here's where AZBTR needs your help to recover operating funds need for ongoing rescue operations.  Visit http://azbtrescue.chipin.com/sight-for-sonny to make a tax deductible donation to AZBTR via PayPal.  If you don't have a PayPal account and wish to donate with a check, please send it to AZBTR, PO Box 15555, Scottsdale AZ 85267-5555 (Attn: Sight for Sonny)

So far, six generous individuals have stepped up and have donated $700 via PayPal and checks are starting to come in.  We greatly appreciate this support and still need to raise more to help cover Sonny's medical expenses.  Any amount you can spare, no matter how small, is needed so that we can be ready this summer when we expect to intake many new Bostons needing our help. 

Thank you for your continuing support.  Sonny2012A

“Thank you for helping me see how beautiful the world is!”
