Mae continues to do great in her foster home. She is a silly girl who loves
to play and snuggle. Sadie Mae is not using a crate at all and is
trusted with free run of the house when alone. She usually uses this time
to nap on the bed. Sadie Mae is a super sweet girl who loves all
people. She walks nicely on her harness, but does get excited when passing
other people, dogs, or squirrels. She is learning how to nicely pass others
and is doing great with waiting and not pulling. She is around two other
dogs most days and is still wishing they would play with her.
Sadie Mae was recently seen at a dermatologist due to flaky skin.
She was diagnosed with a keratinization defect, which means her body
produces excess keratin. This is a cosmetic problem that is very
manageable and will not affect her qualify of life. Treatment requires
a spray to be applied twice a week. She would make a great addition to
any home.

Mae spent the weekend at a temporary home while her foster mom was out of
town. She got the chance to be with two young children, ages 10 months
and 3 years. Sadie did wonderful with the kids and gave them nothing
but kisses. She was also spayed this past week, so is ready to start a
new adventure at her forever home. Whoever adopts Sadie Mae is getting
a wonderful, young girl!

Mae is doing great in her foster home. She had no problems adjusting at
all. Sadie Mae is fully house trained and crate trained. She can also be
trusted to be free in the house. So far, we have done an hour or so at a
time and she has been fine. Sadie might not look like your average boxer
with her tail and her petite little face, but just spend a few minutes with
her and you will see typical boxer behavior! She is full of kisses, is a
lot of fun, and loves snuggling. Sadie can usually be found
playing and boxing. Her favorite sparring partner is any vacuum
cleaner!
Sadie Mae walks on a harness as she can get excited when she sees other
dogs or squirrels, but we are working on her pulling. She is around 2
yellow labs at work and just wants to play with them. They don't return her
feelings as they are older, but she tries!
Sadie Mae knows sit and stay, and is working on the rest of her commands.
She is also working on not jumping on people when she meets them, and is
doing really well with this. Sadie Mae is very sweet and loves everyone she
has met. She is happy to play with people, but has not yet mastered playing
with toys. We are working on teaching her that feet are not toys! Silly
girl!

AABR was contacted to help Sadie because the shelter she was in was full
and Sadie was in danger. She was brought into the shelter by a person
who indicated that Sadie's elderly owner could not take care of her any
longer. The only information he could tell the shelter was Sadie's name.
Sadie was evaluated and passed her dog tests with flying colors. She is a
very sweet girl who even let the volunteer cut her really long nails and
give her a bath to try to get some of the tar out of her hair. She just
loves being around people and is in need of a foster home! Sadie will be
spayed soon and brought up to date on all vet care. If you could help give
this sweet girl by giving her a chance, please apply today! |
