Over the last few months we have really missed our beautiful girl, Sasha. We knew we couldn’t replace her, but Amy and I felt we had too much love for just two dogs. In December we decided to try to find a new dog. I found a mastiff/rottweiler mix that was 8 months old named Makayla that needed adopting. We picked her up and brought her home. It ended up being a big mistake. She was 90 lbs. and was a very aggressive puppy. Not knowing her own strength, combined with being about 6 months behind in training proved to be too much for us. We took her back to the rescue group. It was a very hard decision for us, but she scared Amy and our other dogs. After this experience, we decided to find a younger puppy that we could raise ourselves.
This led us to our new baby, Annabelle. We drove about 450 miles to pick her up from a breeder in Illinois, just before Christmas. She has been a blessing. Sasha was a perfect dog and we feel that Saints fit us temperament wise. If she grows to be half the dog Sasha was, we will be very happy.

What a bundle of love, congratulations on your new pack mate! Thanks for showing us that it is possible to eventually find joy in a new ball of fur.

She sure looks extra squeezable and kissable. Please give her extra kisses from me and Abby. Congrats on the new baby!

Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

Congrats on the new pup! She is adorable.

You did the right thing by returning Makayla. I can relate, as we had to do that when we got the first Skyler (which was a cocker spaniel). She was very aggressive with Chloe, so we returned her after only 6 days and we ended up with a litter mate of Chloe's (that we also named Skyler). That was the best decision ever, as they got along so well right from the begining.

Post more pics of your cutie when you can….kiss her snout for me too!

Cathy

Skyler earned her wings and regained her right rear limb on 6/11/2010. Chloe earned her wings and joined her sister Skyler on 4/4/2011.They are now "Happy Together" with all the other Tripawd heroes and other furbabies that are running free at Rainbow Bridge.

She is adorable!!! You are so wonderful to try and adopt a rescue pup but aggression is no fun. It's hard to return her but Makayla has a rescue group so she is in good hands.

Kissing the monitor screen – says it all! Annabelle is the sweetie cutie pie!

 Congratulations!!

Joanne & lylee
