We brought the newest member of our family home a few weeks ago. Sadie was rescued from a kill shelter by two sweet ladies who run a doggie daycare & are foster parents for a local shelter.
Once we bought our house we knew we wanted a doggie, but just recently started looking online for dogs we could adopt and visiting the Adoption Days at PetSmart. We found a picture of Sadie (then called Autumn) and just fell in love with her cute little face. We were sad to find out she wasn't at PetSmart that Saturday and thought she had already been adopted, but decided to call anyway.
Thankfully we discovered they just hadn't brought her out that weekend and set up time to see her after work. We fell in love and had to have her after that visit!
My two year old niece was excited to meet Sadie and kept asking if she would have a bow in her hair when we brought her home since she is a girl. We all thought this was pretty funny, but when we went to pick her up the ladies had given her a bath and gave her a "bow" attached to her collar!
When we brought Sadie home she was very nervous and shy, but after about two weeks with us she has really relaxed and is playful and friendly. The first week was a bit of an adjustment as she got use to going outside her new home and we got use to finding surprises the new responsibility, but we've all gotten use to each other and love having a little doggie of our own. :)
