Sadie Was a Dog They Thought Nobody Wanted. They Were Wrong.
"She was beautiful..."
"Sadie had been transported to a no-kill shelter in Wisconsin, where I found her while I was donating blankets," says Joal. "As I was walking out, I saw Sadie. Even though her head was hanging down, I thought that she was beautiful. I already had three animals at home, but I had to know Sadie's story. A volunteer filled me in, and told me they didn't think anyone would ever want her."
A Tragic Beginning, but a Happy Ending
Sadie was found bleeding and alone in the mountains of Kentucky. She had been left to die after delivering a litter of puppies - with a bullet hole between her eyes and another in her back. Strangers found her and took her to a veterinarian, and Starfish Animal Rescue had her transported to a shelter in Wisconsin. Little did Joal expect to meet Sadie there!
The vet looked at me and said, "Joal, do the kind thing"
"I asked if I could take Sadie to a doctor, and they told me that I could as long as I paid for it. The first doctor said that we should get Sadie a cart, because the x-rays confirmed the presence of bullets and shrapnel. The second doctor told me that because Sadie was incontinent and couldn’t walk, I should do 'the kind thing.' But I couldn't."
She Was the Dog that Nobody Wanted, but Look at Sadie Today!
Months and years of love, therapy, medical treatment, and devotion have made a huge difference for Sadie both physically and emotionally! The dog that nobody wanted is happy, healthy, and thriving today - able to "walk," hop, swim, and play!
