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."

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."

Sadie Saves: Updating puppies

“Hi everyone, it’s me Sadie and I’m sharing some new pictures of the six puppies my human family and canine pack are fostering.  The photos below were taken yesterday, before and after a playtime pool party we hosted for them. The puppies all had a great time and so did we! I hope you are thinking of names for each of these cute critters (five boys and one girl) as our NAME THESE PUPPIES contest will close on Saturday, August 1^st 2015 at 11:59 pm PDT.  The winner, along with the names for all of the puppies will be announced here on my blog, Sunday, August 9^th.  If this is the first time you’re visiting my blog, or want to look back at the puppies as they progressed, please follow these links to my first post from June 28^th;  the second post, which included contest rules and prizes on July 2^nd ;  the third post on July 12^th , and the fourth post on July 19^th.  Remember; please submit your puppy names to me at sadiesapiens@gmail.com. Okay, it’s time now for you to see the six puppies!! “

 

Begging Procedure

“It’s no secret that I love to interpret speech for my animal friends.  Well, this video doesn’t require my language skills because it’s just plain funny, and besides, Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund and his pal do an excellent job of acting in their own very version of the Minions Movie.  Hope this makes you smile.  Love, Sadie 

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.  On Mother’s Day, May 10, 2015 I featured my sweet friend Bronwyn who is still waiting to find a place to call home. Bronwyn, is  a 2 1/2 year old female boxer mix. She is heartworm positive so is currently undergoing treatment. Bronwyn would prefer ruling the roost with no fellow canines to challenge her role as Queen. She is a sweet friendly girl with lots of energy and love to give! She would do best in a home with no children as they can make her nervous. Currently, Bronwyn is available for adoption through the Second Chance Animal Shelter in East Brookfield, Massachusetts. Please share her picture and story with your family, friends and social networks. Together I’m sure we will find her a ‘forever family.’ I thank you for your help.  Love, Sadie”

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”

“Hi, it’s me Sadie here.  Last week I introduced you to my newest cyber pal, the beautiful and famous, Tais Tói, a/k/a Jolie, who is a member of the Renaissance performance troop, TheTrouvéres. Well, she’s stopping back today while on her world tour to share a new picture and some ‘Doglish’ conversation.

Tais Tói says, ‘Greetings friends and fans from Mexico! I’m having a wonderful time here. The people are very nice, the weather is warm and the food is wonderful! Wish you could all be with me to share. By the way, what do you think of my new hat? Is it me? Whoops! Gotta go! Catch you next time! <3  Tais Tói"'

The Trio

“Collie says, ‘Okay guys, listen up! Let’s just try to act real nonchalant when that Great Dane comes over here. Tell him we’re practicing for our Barber Shop Trio debut, and if he’d like to join us, we’d love to make it a Quartet - provided he can howl bass. Just remember, this is HIS back yard!”’

Sadie Saves

“Hi, it’s me Sadie, and of course you know what we do on Sunday! It’s time to take another look at my animal friends that need your help in finding their ‘forever families.'  Last week, I featured my friend ‘Rusty,’ who is still hoping to find a home. Rusty is a very special fellow - an Ibizan Hound/Terrier who is three years old and is staying at TheSecond Chance Animal Shelter, East Brookfield, Massachusetts. “


 



“Here’s what Rusty has to say, ‘ Hello there! I'm kind of a shy guy but don't let that deter you. Once I check you out I like to lay my head in your lap for some petting. I'm very sweet and I just want a human companion to love. I would do best in a quieter home with lots of love. Once you get to know me I'm pretty playful and love to bounce around!”’

“Please share Rusty’s picture and story with your family, friends and social networks, and together we can find him a good home.  If you have any questions, be sure to contact The Second Chance AnimalShelter and tell them you are inquiring about Rusty. His identification number is: 24842859 . Thank you. Love, Sadie”

My Newest Cyber Pal

“Hi everyone, it’s me, Sadie. I’m so excited; I have a new friend and cyber pal! Her name is Tais Tói, and she’s like, so PRETTY and FAMOUS, and in SHOW BUSINESS! Right now, she’s sending me photos from her travels around the world and I wanted to share them with you. Tais Tói (which means 'shut up' in French!) also goes by the name 'Jolie' when performing on stage with the Renaissance troupe TheTrouvéres. She definitely manages the troupe (as well as the audience) if they get a bit rowdy.

"Here’s what Tais Tói has to say: 'Hello everyone, I’m so pleased to meet you and I send a big ALOHA from Hawaii. (Sadie, I’m so excited to converse with you in Doglish! Not many animals understand the language, let alone humans.) Thank you Sadie, I’ll report back from my next location soon. <3 Tais Tói'"
