Today, Sadie’s permanent foster, who has loved Sadie for just over one month, had to say “Goodbye”. We want to thank her for showing Sadie that not all people are cruel. We want to thank her for allowing her heart to break. We want to thank her for giving Sadie the dignity she so deserved! We couldn’t do what we do every day without our wonderful fosters. Sadie knew that better than anyone. UPDATE: SADIE HAS FOUND A WONDERFUL FAMILY TO PERMANENTLY FOSTER HER. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON HER HEALTH BUT WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO FOR QUALITY OF LIFE AND WILL NOT PUT THIS OLD GAL UNDER THE KNIFE. BACKGROUND: This is Sadie. She is a wonderful 13 year old golden girl. We wish we could tell you something unfortunate happened to her owners — but we can’t. Her owners walked into a kill shelter yesterday and said “take her, we are moving.” When the shelter explained that they were full and being an owner turn in (versus a stray) would almost certainly be a death sentence for her, they turned around and walked out. Thirteen years of loyalty meant nothing to these people. It was obvious they didn’t deserve her love. But a wonderful volunteer at this shelter saw Sadie and was determined to save her. She only had to make one call. As soon as the shelter opened, Sadie became ours. A visit to one of our vets showed some good things and bad things. Many of her teeth were worn down to the nerves. She has a few tumors – some fatty and some we just don’t know yet. Her skin is in pretty bad shape but we can fix that. Her heart sounds good. She can walk well (after we cut her long, long nails). We are awaiting some test results. But the really good thing is Sadie is happy now. She loves people and loves to be touched. Her tail goes thump, thump. She still has her spirit. She sits and gives you her paw. She lays her head on your lap. She still has a good quality of life. We just don’t know for how long but who does? If you would like to adopt Sadie and feel love like you never have, then please send us an email at info@adoptagoldenatlanta.com. Your love and safe harbour will be the adoption fee.
