Meet SARG
Susan Reed - our newest board member
|
|
Prior to becoming a board member in 2019, Susan Reed has actively supported SARG fundraising efforts for several years. Her most important SARG contribution she’ll tell you was fostering a little dog that had been abandoned at the animal shelter after birthing a litter. Little dog, aka Trixie, aka Ginger, needed a week for her milk to dry up before she could be spayed and put up for adoption. The Reeds agreed to foster little dog and a SARG friend brought her to the house.
The minute Ginger spotted the couch in the living room she showed us how well she could jump! Over the next week, she stuck close to that couch. She liked to snuggle, watch TV, and snuggle. The vet thought she might be part Papillion/Sheltie although you can see she was undernourished and without much hair.
The week passed, and after many naps, Ginger was ready for surgery and her new forever home, with the Reeds. She was an active family member keeping anybody and everything out of the yard. She was steadfast at keeping the cats out of the living room. She continuously showed us first-hand her guard dog skills. Only thing was she didn’t understand - she was a dog. She’d stare at her reflection in the door glass and bark at herself. She loved rides in the truck just so she could sit with her head out the window and bark at those present and non-present. One of her favorite rides took her to the dry cleaners where the nice lady in the window always gave her a treat. She gained a little weight and her hair filled out.
She had boundless energy and was always glad to greet you with her doggie rotations. Never much for running after balls or playing tug-of-war, Ginger was content to watch over her kingdom (the yard and house) from one of her many perches. She loved to go for long rides and visit relatives where she behaved rather nicely as long as they had a couch!

In March Betsy, the little beagle got a new family! She has a great yard and people to play with her. She also has another 4 legged family member - a cat! So far so good. Betsy and the cat are curious, but cautious. I'm betting they will be best buds soon.

A note from William Hubbard:
Three years ago today we welcomed Bowie into our lives. We consider it has having come upon a treasure. I am forever grateful to the foster mom and everyone who made this possible for us.
William, Thank you for such kind words. Speaking as a foster parent, we are truly blessed to have found people such as yourselves to adopt our lovely fur babies.

Mark thinks Siri is either part cat or broken! I just hope Siri doesn't wake up with a stiff neck!
