CAN ANYONE HELP PATRICIA GET THIS DOG IN TO A VET? WITHOUT THIS STEP THIS POOR DOG DOES NOT HAVE A CHANCE!!
READ FROM BOTTOM UP FOR STORY.

Patricia,
Margo, runs a massive rescue program for Memphis but the dogs have to be “adoptable” or the whole program would lose credibility. You have to help Sadie become adoptable!
If you do not become directly involved in Sadie’s rescue it appears she is destined to live a horrible life. I’m copying a few people on this email who may be able to help you get the dog in to a vet for evaluation, spaying and HW testing. This poor dog – thrown from a truck, then kept outdoors with almost no human interaction for a year – no vaccinations or health care – then an unwanted litter of puppies that were given away by your boss’s wife.
Your boss has not helped her by doing this – however good-intentioned he was.
She needs to have a slip leash put around her neck and be taken to the vet IMMEDIATELY. She should be evaluated, spayed, tested for HW. If your boss is willing to pay for this – then he should do so. The vet can tell you whether Sadie can overcome her fears with the help of a trainer. If so, we can raise funds to help. Once she is past that hurdle then find a foster home. If she gets through all of this with no problems then Margo would probably reconsider putting her in the NE program.
If Sadie truly has socialization issues that cannot be overcome then she is best off being peacefully euthanized. This is better than the horrible life she is living now.
PLEASE don’t leave her to suffer any longer. Get her out of the situation she is in and let a vet evaluate her behavior. Get her medical care. Otherwise she will have more litters and die young of heart worm or worse.

Hi Patricia, I’m afraid Sadie would not be a good candidate for long distance adoption. Folks adopting a dog sight unseen from 1000 miles away are very wary about socialization issues and afraid to take a chance on a scared dog that they cannot meet first.
If his wife can pet her then she can slip a leash around her neck and take her to be spayed, because I bet Sadie is due to have another litter pretty soon if not spayed.
THANKS!

Hi Margo,
I have not met Sadie. Rick (my boss) has had her on his property for almost a year. She was thrown out at Shelby Drive & Swinnea and his wife was able to get her out of the road at the time. They live in the trailer park right there at that intersection. She is fearful but his wife & daughter have been able to pet her, etc. He asked me for help with her back then and I posted it on my Facebook & also sent out a mass email. Nobody responded so he still has her. They provided a dog house & put food out for her but she is still considered a “stray”. And that’s where the puppies came into play. Male dogs around there wandering & they got a hold of her. I don’t want that to happen again & neither does Rick. That’s why he wants her gone – she deserves better. They love animals & would never hurt her but in the same breath, they do not want to keep her. They have a little dog that stays inside. Judy (his wife) just acted out of kindness when she got her out of the road (no injuries) and had no idea it would take this long to find a place for her.
He said none of them can catch her to get a leash on her so she can be taken to the vet. I’m sure she probably runs and they aren’t used to that. We “animal world” people are. I told him I would come and bring help and we could get her. I’ve wrangled many a doggie in the past & I’m sure you have, too.
I included you in my email I sent out yesterday that had a picture of her. It’s not the best picture but that’s as close as they could get without her running. She didn’t know what a camera was. I will re-forward the email that has the picture attached.
Let me know what you think. I would be happy to go with you (or a representative for you) and get her leashed & let you assess her, etc. If you feel you can help, we could get her to your vet for shots, spay, heartworm check, etc. and Rick will pay for it.
Thanks so much. You’re my first sign of hope for Sadie. If you need to speak with me, my cell is 901 438 6187.
HAPPY EASTER
Patricia

Hi Patricia, Sadie might be eligible for New England adoption. Can you email me a photo? You mentioned she is scared. Can you tell me more about her socialization?
THANKS!

REPOST – I posted this back in October via email & my Facebook page and we STILL need a home for her. He has kept her as long as he can and the next stop would be the HELLter. He does NOT want to do that so he has asked for my help once again. PLEASE share/crosspost.
Sadie – need a rescue or adopter. She is a hound mix. Scared but not aggressive. My boss has her at his house. We have been trying for a year now to find a place for her. She ended up having puppies after he got her and his wife & daughter took them to a Walmart parking lot and gave them away. After I “came to” from having hyperventilated when I heard that, I told him to get her spayed. This has not happened yet and I don’t want more puppies!
If an individual takes her, he will pay ALL expenses for her vetting/spay. If a rescue takes her, he will make a donation towards all her care. She was thrown out at Shelby Drive & Swinnea and he has been feeding her & giving her shelter but they do not have the appropriate place to keep her. PLEASE HELP! Crosspost, share, etc.
If you can help, email me or call me 901 438 6187.
THANKS!
Patricia
My mom is going back in the morning with more food. This is not a good area and I am worried the wrong person will grab this dog. If you can help in any way please let me know. We are willing to help in any way. The house is located on Dearing at Dearing and Mallory near Willow Oaks Elementary school (Getwell/240 area).
