Adoption information is available at the City of Tallahassee – Animal Service Center’sFacebook page. Thank you. Love, Sadie

“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 a beautiful new momma Chihuahua named June and her six adorable puppies! 

A few weeks ago here in Florida, June was found pregnant and wandering around the streets of Tallahassee as a stray, when she was picked up by Animal Control and taken to the local shelter, where she gave birth.  She and her puppies are not quite ready for adoption, which will be a several weeks from now, as they are currently being fostered in our home. But, I wanted to get the word out as no one has come forward to claim June nor her puppies. Please check back on Thursday, July 2, for more pictures of this growing family along with a Star Spangled Surprise!  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.

“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 Saves

“Hi, it’s me, Sadie!  Hope you all had a chance to sleep in a bit and are having a splendid Sunday! As you know, Sunday is the most important day of the week for me as it is the day that Sadie Saves my animal friends who are up for adoption and are seeking their ‘forever families. ‘ So, I’d like to introduce you to my friend Melo.  He's an older male Chihuahua that is very relaxed, gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t mind taking a shower, is affectionate and loves quotations as much as I. He's currently being fostered with me at my house in Tallahassee, Florida, but is hoping for his own forever home.”’

“Melo says, ‘As Sadie mentioned, I am a rather mellow fellow and I love quotations as much as she does. One of my favorite quotes is from the novelist Anatole France, and it’s something I’d like you to think about –‘ ‘Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.’ I hope you’ll wake up your family and friends, and share my story and search on your social media. Oh, and by the way, thought you'd like to see me taking a shower.”’ :)

“If you’d like to meet Melo, please contact the Animal Service Center in Tallahassee, and tell them Sadie sent you. Love, Sadie.”

 

Sadie Saves on Sundays

“Hi, it’s me Sadie. I hope you’re having a splendid Sunday! 

 

I’ve been thinking about something that Charles Darwin once said, ‘The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.’ That being said, it’s time for me to share some pictures and information about my newest friend, who is looking for his forever family!  If you help me get the word out, you are indeed a noble human! Here goes –  this is my friend Max."'

"Max is a sweet year-old boy looking for a permanent home. He's hanging out with some human friends of mine, enjoying warm evenings next to the fire with the rest of a pack of my Chihuahua friends.  They report that he fits in well with other dogs, is skittish at first but, like a Florida winter day warms up quickly.

Max is looking to bond with a permanent human and their family.  He’s energetic, playful and mostly trained to do his business in one place that humans prefer. Max is available for adoption through the Tallahassee, Florida Animal Services Center. Hope you’ll share Max’s story with your family, friends and social networks. Thank you. Love, Sadie”

“Hi, Sadie here again with some exciting news!   I want to thank my humans everywhere for sharing the story about my friend, ‘Max.’  I am so thrilled to report that from your efforts, he has found his forever family, and I’m grateful for your sharing his story!!  Please, continue to help me find ‘forever homes’ for my animal friends whom I post every Sunday. But, I also hope you’ll check in every day for my special translations for all my animal friends. Love, Sadie.”

"Voltaire  once  wrote  'With  great  power  comes  great  responsibility.'  Emma  read  Voltaire  to  me  once  while  she  was  doing  a  homework  assignment.   She  got  a  B  in  the  class  but  the  lesson  stuck  with  me.   I  see  so  many  animals  in  need  of  care  and  I  want  to  show  my  sense  of  responsibility  for  a  great  cause  -  finding  homes  for  needy  animals.

Meet  Bunny.  She's  currently  in  a  foster  home  through  the  Tallahassee, Florida Animal Services Center.

I  had  a  chance  to  meet  and  play  with  her  and  wanted  to  share  her  with  you. 

 

Bunny  is  a  black  and  tan  neutered  female.  She's  a  little  over  three  human  years  in  age,  is  very  energetic  and  loves  people.  Her  will  to  bond  to  a  person  is  extremely  strong  and  she's  not  afraid  to  declare  her  devotion.  She's  a  good  pack  member  and  follows  the  typical  human  house  rules  pretty  well.

Please  demonstrate  your  own  sense  of  great  responsibility  and  adopt  Bunny  or  an  animal  in  your  local  area  that  is  in  need.

-         Sadie,  the  world's  first  talking  dog."'
