HAPPY TALES!

CSRNE Sallie - Happy At Last In Their Forever Home!

Sallie

UPDATE:

Well let me start off by saying that she got us right from the time I saw her picture. In the eighteen years I've lived in this house I never considered putting up a fence but when we were told that we had to in order to get her, there wasn't even a question.

At first she was very scared and it's been a long road to getting her house trained. She's known what to do for a while but when we're both out she was peeing or pooping in the house, but I think it's in retaliation for us leaving. But she's really opened up to us and really become part of our family, or really, it's more like we've become hers. She owns us really, we give her loves constantly and she's always up for playing, though I think she loves sleep above all.

She loves the yard and chasing the rabbits. (they aren't pets of ours, they just live under the shed. Reguardless of which, she's just a priceless little girl and we love her to death. At this very moment she's sleeping next to mommy's chair waiting for her to get up so she can follow her around.

I just cannot tell you how wonderful she is, how wonderful she makes us feel, and how wonderful it is to see her become more comfortable day by day and opening up her full personality. We couldn't have asked for a better little girl, she's phoenomenal. We love her to death.

We have a website where I have a bunch of photos, it is : http://community.webshots.com/user/geoquin4 and you can look under the Silly Sallie folder.

She also has her very own MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/salliequinlan

Sallie's story is a sad one and all too common.  She was purchased from a Kansas puppy mill by a Massachusetts Puppy Kennel and sold to someone who shortly gave her away to a friend who then abandoned her.  She's barely a year old and already experienced multiple confusing situations so it's not surprising that she's very afraid to be left alone.  She's fine as long as someone is right near her but as soon as she's left on her own, she yelps and cries continuously. 

She has not learned to be housebroken and she piddles and poops in her crate.  Sallie has never been allowed to really live in a home so she needs to learn basic house manners.  She is thrilled to finally have the opportunity to be the energetic puppy that she is and she loves to leap over the furniture at the other cockers! (She adores Stewart, a senior rescue cocker and he thinks she's just adorable!) Sallie needs an experienced, patient, owner with lots of time who wants a "from scratch" pup. 

She needs to go to puppy kindergarten, learn to be housebroken and she needs lots of exercise in a big fenced yard.  Most of all, Sallie needs structure and consistency.  She needs to learn that despite her challenging behaviors, someone special will make a lifetime commitment to a little cocker who desperately needs an owner who will love her and teach her and be her forever friend.
