Sadie Saves

“Hi everyone, it’s me Sadie, wishing you a splendid Sunday!  Today, I want to introduce you to some very special humans who are making a significant difference in the lives of senior and disabled canines and felines.  Oftentimes, the elderly and infirm in the animal kingdom are euthanized or given up for adoption, and sadly are provided with no hope for a better future.  One organization, The Heart Senior Pet Sanctuary, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland is dedicated to providing exemplary care and quality of life to dogs and cats so that their ‘golden years’ are truly golden, and that their every need is met in making their lives comfortable and worthwhile.  Please see the video below, INSIDE A DOG RETIREMENT HOME  – my thanks to  the National Geographic Channel for capturing the dedication and care provided by Sher Polvinale and her team of volunteers.  To learn more about House with a Heart Senior Pet Sanctuary, please follow this link.

"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 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."

Part of the bargain…

Sadie Saves

Hi everyone, it’s me Sadie wishing you a Happy Sunday, and am asking you to continue to help me get the word out about my friend Jake, who is still hoping to be adopted. You may remember that I originally introduced him to you on August 2^nd, and that he’s available for adoption through the Second Chance Animal Shelter in East Brookfield, Massachusetts.  His Identification number is - 10799745. Please continue to share his new picture and story with your family, friends and social networks.  Together I’m sure we will find him a ‘forever family.’  I thank you for your help.  Love, Sadie”

“Jake says, ‘Hello everyone. I’m a six-year old Australian Shepherd mix looking for an active family to adopt me.  I’m a friendly boy that enjoys going for long walks and playing fetch.  I need to go to an adult home who can work with me getting out my energy and working on turning me into even more of a gentleman.  I like to think of myself as King and would be best with no other animals to challenge my reign.  I am a super dog in the right environment and would excel in an environment where I can focus my energy into correct channels.  I am a loyal boy and have a lot of love to give.  I go for daily adventures with one of my friends here at the shelter to his lake house.  I love going for rides in his truck and meeting new people.  He says I do wonderful and really enjoy relaxing at the lake.  Please stop by Second Chance Animal Shelter to see if I am the right fit for you.”

Canine Correctness

"Hi everyone, it's me Sadie.  As many of you know I LOVE spending time surfing on my pack leader's computer (when he's not  around.)  Anyway, the other day I found this terrific video of some of my canine pals and how they forage for food when their families aren't around, and even when they are.  I definitely think I learned a thing or two just watching them.  LOOK OUT FAMILY, and my thanks to America's Funniest Home Videos."

Tais Toi does the Hamptons

“Hi, it’s me Sadie here. My cyber pal, the beautiful and famous, Tais Toi, a/k/a Jolie, who is a member of the Renaissance performance troop, The Trouvères is pausing from her world tour to check in with us while vacationing in the Hamptons! Tais Toi says,

‘Greetings from the village of Southampton, New York my dearest friend and fans! We’re taking a few days off for some much needed rest and relaxation before heading off to Connecticut to continue our World Tour.  Originally, we were scheduled to vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, but we thought it best to steer clear of all the paparazzi during the First Family’s vacation. Also, I didn’t want to steal the spotlight nor make the job of the Secret Service agents more stressful.   Daddy Michael and mommy Grace are taking me to the beach today, and then later this evening we’re attending a private soiree for some Hollywood types. Anyway, what do you think of my new beach attire – is it me?   Well, my dear Sadie and friends, I must run! Till we meet again.  <3 Tais Toi”’
