Sadie
Adopted August 31, 2001
2½ - 3 Year old Female Rough Coat.
Sadie was in a high kill shelter when we saved her.
She is very thin and we are working on putting some weight on
her.
When she was altered at the shelter she weighed a mere 81 lbs.
She is a very sweet girl and just wants attention from everyone.
She has a calm and mild personality and looking for some love.
Can Sadie find the love and affection she deserves in your home?
8/30/01 UPDATE: Sadie was
placed in a foster home on 8/29/01 until her forever home finds
her. She has had a bath and romped and played with the other dogs.
She absolutely adores children, she is very smart and has quite
a personality. She will try to wiggle her way into your heart,
and does not have much trouble succeeding with those that she
meets.
A complete love bug!

UPDATE: Sadie was adopted today! She is going to her
new home tomorrow, what a great way to start a new month! Her
new life includes lots of children who adore her, and will give
her the attention she deserves, she has plenty of energy for them
and she charmed her way right into their hearts!

Update: 6/2002
Hi Janelle!
We are the Gundersons. We adopted our Saint in September of last
year
from Alta Loma with Jackie. "Sadie" is an absolutely
wonderful addition to
our family of eight! She walked into our house as if she'd always
lived
here, and still feels we are "her" family. As I write
this she is panting
contentedly by my side. Her favorite spot is by the side of anyone
who will
sit still long enough to make it worth her while to get up and
cross the room
to be with them. Last night she wanted to go out in the middle
of the night
--- for some cooler air I suppose. I could hear the sprinklers
going off
followed by the sound of her "pouncing" on one of the
geysers of water! She
came in a little while later soaking wet, but very proud of herself.
Such
are the happenings in the home of a Saint Bernard family.
We tell everyone who asks about her that she was a rescue dog
from Adopt
A Saint. People cannot imagine that our robust 130 lbs. gentle
pile of
tufted fur was ever a matted 81 lbs. of bones headed for euthanasia.
What a
triumph for your organization!
It is because we are so in love with Sadie that
we would love to offer our
story to any potential adoptive family. If we can ever encourage
someone,
please let us know. Also, if we could ever transfer a Saint, I
think we
could help as well. With six kids still living at home (between
the ages of
6 and 20 years) I am sorry to say that we are probably not going
to be
available for much else at this time.
I will tell you that my very reticent husband adores
Sadie more than he
could ever have imagined. Once this Spring he videotaped her having
a
"conversation" with him regarding unconditional love.
He's a Pastor; she
made it into the Sunday message that week via videotape! Now she's
a star,
as well as our Favorite Dog Of All Time!
Thank you for this chance to let you know how much we appreciate
the
efforts of Adopt A Saint. We are so grateful to all of you for
saving
Sadie's life, and for bringing her into our life.
Thank you all so very much,
Kimberly, for all The Gundersons
