Sadie

My name is Sadie! I am a Queensland Heeler, and I am the runt of the litter. I began my life in a rescue shelter. I stayed there for 3 ½ months because I was too small and very sick. I had a strong heart and great determination that some day someone would pick me out to take home.

My new owners picked me and my new brother, who was in another cage, to take home. They took me to see Drs. Horn and Dahlem the very next day. I sure liked the doctors, because they took such good care of me. They even sent me to see a specialist when I didn’t seem to get well. Now I take pills everyday and feel great!

I play with my big brother as best I can, because my legs are very short and crooked, but I can make lots of noise that he likes. He runs around the house while I sit in one place and bark a lot.

I can get to the front window almost as fast as Joey to bark loudly and defend my home. Joey thinks he owns all the toys, but I know how to “out smart” him and play with what I want.

My owners put me in my own “princess carriage,” that’s what they call it, to take me with them when we all go for a walk. Joey has to be out in front, but I don’t care as I can sit and ride the whole way and see everything. I have made lots of friends on our walks. They all come to see me and pat me on the head.

I have a wonderful home, and my owners and brother love me a lot. I was right - someone did come along and want me. I have a great life!
