A COUPLE OF OUR "FOUR" LEGGED RESIDENTS



Sammy and Rosie both have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Sammy (a "Chiweenie"; half Chihauhua and half Dachshund) was five months old when adopted and given a reprieve days before he was about to be 'put down' by a Rescue Foundation in Queen Anne's County. He was deemed 'un-adoptable' because of his penchant for snapping at people, obviously due to abuse as a puppy. After two years, he still thinks he is a big tough dog, but he is working very hard, and improving, on his social skills. He is very sweet with his family, who treat him like a little prince. He also has great respect for one family resident, ... his brother "Tigger", the very independent double-pawed family cat, who takes little or no abuse from him. So all 15 pounds of Sammy realizes how good a life he now has.
Rosie also was saved by her new family just days before being euthanized. They drove down to North Carolina after seeing this precious Jack Russell on line. Rosie had a very difficult time 'settling in' and was emotionally and physically sick for a couple of weeks before finally realizing she was here to stay and now is in her element...and why not? She is so loved AND has quite the wardrobe, which consists of sweaters, jackets and even a rain coat with hood. Her emotional condition is now fabulous, and she loves to socialize and entertain anyone she sees on her many outings. Pictures show Sammy in his blue sweater and Rosie, dressed as a sailor, on her first Halloween. Both were warmly welcomed to the community.
