Sadie Saves

“Hi everyone, it’s me Sadie, and you know what today is if you are a regular follower on my blog – it’s the day I help get the word out about my animal friends who are hoping to be adopted.  Today I’d like to introduce you to my friend Coco. She's a full grown dog, but still has the heart and playfulness of a puppy.  Coco loves to run at high speeds and turn on a dime.  All she wants to do is play, even if some of the older dogs in our foster home aren't in the mood.  She would do best in a high energy household that understands small dog breeds.  I’m not sure how she does with small children, so that would have to be evaluated by any potential adopter.  Interested parties should go to https://www.talgov.com/animals/animals-adopt.aspx. And, please share Coco’s photo and story with your family, friends and social media. Together we can make a difference and find her a forever home. Thank you. Love, Sadie”

Sadie, the fictional talking dog, and her fictional family of intelligent canines are based on real-life rescued Chihuahuas that my wife and I have adopted over the years. Anybody who lives with a dog realizes how smart they really are and even if they can't speak Doglish, there's certainly love and intelligence glittering in their beautiful eyes.  So many animals, dogs and cats, are discarded or euthanized every year because there's simply too many of them out there and not enough loving human homes to adopt them.  Dogs and cats totally rely on the humans that domesticated them to survive. I hope through Sadie's stories that more people will come to appreciate the wonder and responsibility we have to welcome these animals into our lives or at least help keep the unwanted population lower by spay and neuter. Sadie Saves is serious business spoken by a cute fictional character.  Just sit back and imagine if there truly was a spokesdog for all dog- and cat-kind.  Wouldn't you rather save an animal at a shelter that's probably looking at a shortened lifespan if it isn't adopted? Who knows, maybe the next adopted dog will turn out to be the real-life speaking Sadie.
