I had seen Sassy on Petfinder around the beginning of December of
2004; I was looking for a Border Collie (pure or mixed) and I saw Sassy.
She looked so sweet
with her one blue eye and one brown eye and her white whiskers. I feel
in love with her at first sight. I decided that I'd look around some
more, but the more I looked, the more I wanted Sassy. So every other
weekend for about 2 months I went up to Greenville (I live in New Bern)
and was trying to find PCHS with no avail. I didn't know my way around
Greenville at the time either. Finally, on February 9th, 2005, I found
the PCHS. I was so excited-I'd get to see Sassy in person if she was
still there. So my fiancé' and I met Sassy and she licked us all over
and I knew I had to have her. I talked to Ms. Anita and we discussed the
issues in Sassy's past (including car phobia and possibly not
getting along with other pets) and I felt sure we could overcome any
issues she would have since I work at a Veterinary Clinic and one of our
doctors is a behavior specialist; just in case. I made the decision to
get Sassy and came up the next Saturday to pick her up; she had been at
PCHS since May-June of 2004. I was worried she wouldn't like the
hour-long car ride because of her past, but she jumped right in the
driver's seat as if saying "I'm ready to get outta here!" (Not in a
bad way because I'm sure everyone treated her nicely at PCHS) She did wonderful
on the way home, no sedation or anything needed, she just gave us lots of kisses
at the stop lights. Once we got home, we let her see the house and the back
yard. Then she had to meet our other pets one by
one. Sassy gets along with my other dog great! They played together for about 2
hours that evening. She loves to sit and watch the cats too-she quite the
curious pooch. She likes it outside and comes inside whenever she wants. I feel
like this dog was meant for me and she's the sweetest thing. I promise she's got
a great home and lots of love and attention coming her way. I honestly don't
think there will be any issues relapsing from her past. Thanks so
much! Everyone that I met was very nice and I'll keep you posted.
