Arizona Golden Rescue

Sadie, about 1 ½ years old, has been adopted. She had a long trip to get to them, though, all the way from a small town near Roswell, New Mexico. Her owner had found her as a skin-and-bones stray back in March 2020. By December, she realized that her work hours were such that Sadie was left alone for a long time every day and she knew that wasn’t good for a Golden. The owner contacted one of our AGR directors through a private message on Facebook. The member couple graciously offered to go get Sadie and even donated the trip cost (thank you!). They drove her directly to the FWITAs’ home, and another director met them there to facilitate the administrative work and take photos. Sadie is a lovely cream-colored Golden who needed our standard intake exam with a valley fever test, a heartworm test and spay surgery; her vaccines were up to date. She also had a skin condition which needed treatment. The adoptive couple have three other non-Golden dogs, all of whom are named after some kind of liquor: Guinness, Stella (Artois), and Brandy. They finally settled on Hennessey as a new name for Sadie and call her Henny for short. Our AGR director that facilitated getting the dog commented on the new name: Hennessey is a fine, expensive cognac! One of the vintages is VSPO “Very Privileged”, which something tells me she definitely is!
