Star is a typically rambunctious puppy, 7-8 months old. She is of mixed heritage, perhaps Golden with some Springer Spaniel. She was surrendered because she was being attacked by the other dogs in the owner’s home – they just could not deal with such a pesty, energetic puppy. The AGR Intake Manager fostered Star and called her “the sweetest thing that happens to wiggle!” There was a suspicion that Star might be pregnant, but she was X-rayed at her vet visit and that was not the case. Her “roundness” was attributed to the owner feeding her 6 cups of food a day! Not even an active puppy needs that much food! Just to prevent an “accident”, we wanted to get her spayed right away, but upon a thorough exam, our vet decided he could detect a spay scar, so he did not proceed with the surgery. On the outside chance that the vet did not accurately discern a spay scar and Star goes into heat, we have issued an addendum to Star’s adoption finalization contract whereby AGR will take care of the cost for the spay. Michele said the family chosen for this little girl is incredible and that she could not have found a better one had she tried. They have an amazing house with an entire fenced-in area just for the dogs that includes a covered kennel. Because their truck is very tall, they have a ramp to help little Star get in and out. Star will be going to work with Dad daily unless Mom wins the battle of a stay-home day. Dad has a good background in dog training, so he is working with Star, who has been renamed Sadie Star, every day. He said, She is a beautiful member of our pack already! Happy forever home, Sadie!
