BABY DOLL
|
|
Hi! Is anyone out there? I am a 6-year-old female Sheltie-German Shepherd mix.
My owner named me Baby Doll, and I have been with him since I was a pup but he is
now very ill and will not be getting better. He had to move permanently to a
nursing home where dogs are not allowed, so I am now homeless.
I have always been devoted to my owner and will be just as devoted to a new owner.
I am clean, healthy, spayed, have all my shots, weigh about 43 pounds, and I come
with a crate. I am currently in obedience training at Kennelwood and learning all
kinds of new things.
|
My class is over at the end of February and I will be ready for my new forever home.
If you could find it in your heart to let me be a part of your home, I know we'd be
wonderful friends. I'd love to learn any new tricks you'd like to teach me.

Love is Blind
Sometimes stories come along that just make you want to bawl - from sheer happiness.
Four years ago she was a tiny puppy, her coat a merle pattern of black and white speckles. A young couple adopted her from us. When I met her again this fall, she had grown much bigger than most Aussie Cattle Dog mixes and she carried herself with a quiet dignity. You don't notice at first, but she is blind now. This happened two years ago and she has adjusted well. Her adoptive parents have adjusted also despite their very real emotional distress. She was an only.
But no longer. When they brought her to the Brentwood PetSmart store, they told me they wanted a companion for her. Twice they led her up and down the aisle of cages, giving her an opportunity to sniff each of the dogs and puppies. Twice she stopped at the same black Lab mix puppy. Jubal was his name. He came to us with three siblings, all abandoned in Jefferson County. Nothing special, pretty, with a black coat shading to an almost charcoal gray, a friendly, exuberant personality - but that's most Lab puppies.
Jubal went home with them that day. A few weeks later, they brought him by after his puppy training class. Jubal, whose name is now Buddy, has at only five months become his big sister's guide dog. When she doesn't get quite the right trajectory for the door, Buddy is there, blocking her with his body, then nudging with his head until she clears the opening. Outside, he takes the lead, guiding her around the yard. Inside, he makes sure she finds the food bowl and he brings her his toys.
Mom and Dad beam as they tell me this. Buddy sits there with a big grin on his face. As they leave, Buddy's tail starts wagging and he doesn't give me a backward glance.
