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!
