HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

“Hi, it’s me Sadie here. My dear cyber pal, the beautiful and famous, Tais Toi, a/k/a Jolie, who is a member of the Renaissance performance troop, The Trouvères is checking in with me to discuss what costumes we’ll be wearing for Halloween. I’m still not sure yet, but Tais Tois is going to wear a very bewitching ensemble. Take a look...

Tais Tói says,  ‘Hello everyone! I’m so excited about tomorrow night! Daddy Michael and Mommy Grace are taking me trick-or-treating and then to a fancy dress ball. I’m looking forward to getting lots of dog treats (no chicken bones or chocolate of course), and then dancing the night away until midnight. What do you think of my outfit? Do you think it’s me?  Well, everyone, I’m being called for dinner. Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween and you get more treats than tricks! Bye for now. <3 Tais Toi.’”

"Hi everyone, it's me Sadie!  Today I want to introduce you my newest canine friend "Cyclops."  He's a four-year-old short-haired male/neutered Chihuahua mix who's hoping he'll be adopted soon. Cyclops is a spunky little guy with a great big personality and boundless energy - he's, always ready to go and loves having a good play session, but also loves to wind down getting lots of loving tummy rubs. He would do best in a family with children over the age of seven, and with no other pets because he enjoys being the center of attention and has lots of love to give. Cyclops is waiting for his forever family to visit him and get to know him. He currently is available for adoption through the Second Chance Animal Shelter, East Brookfield, Massachusetts.  His animal ID number is 28633211.  Please, share his picture and story with your family, friends and social networks, and together we will find him a new home. I 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 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."

"Hi everyone, it's me Sadie wishing you a splendid Sunday!  Today I'm here to tell and show you the extraordinary rescue of my two new canine friends "Cola" and "Pepsi."  They were found living in dreadful and scary conditions underneath 10 lanes of a Los Angeles freeway, and were carefully rescued and lovingly rehabilitated by the awesome folks at Hope for Paws. Both dogs are poodle mix and are about 1-1/2 years old, and are believed to be sister (Cola) and brother (Pepsi).They are playful and personable. Currently, they are in foster care but are now available for adoption as a bonded pair through Maltese Rescue of California. Please view their rescue on the video below provided by the Hope for Paws Official Rescue Channel and share their story with your family, friends and social networks. Together I know we will find them a 'forever family' to call their own."

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.
