Country shelters offer "drop boxes" for dogs whose people can't wait
until Monday or the morning to dispose of them. In
Sabrina's case, she was dumped with her
puppies -- eight of them. The shelter took them in, but that was only
temporary good news. Often mama dogs are euthanized after their puppies
are adopted, mostly because shelter visitors don't adopt dogs who look
worn out and "post-puppies" in general. When we learned of Sabrina, we
said we would check her out. Sabrina was an exceptionally sweet,
"wiggle-butt" of a young dog who didn't stand a chance. So we said we'd
be back when the puppies were ready to be adopted. We wanted to give her
a life. When the call came, we not only took Sabrina, but the last two
puppies who were subsequently adopted.
Sabrina's perky ears make you think she's still a puppy herself. But
what you remember most are her toffee eyes looking at you with great
intelligence and interest. And that gorgeous silky fur of hers -- you
can't help wanting to stroke her!
Sabrina is a trusting, good dog with the best personality. She needs to
be an only pet and would do best with adults or a family with older
children. She has been around older children and is wonderful with
them! Sabrina is also very mindful; just tell her what the rules are
and you can almost hear her say "that's all?" Our good-hearted,
loyal and smart Sabrina is pretty close to perfect!
