"I Have a New Home! Whoopee! Woof! Woof! I've never been sooo happy! I can't believe that my dream has come true! I finally have a family of my own. I've gone from being scared, abused, and lonely with a 40 lb chain around my neck to being a happy, well loved dog that gets to live in a home.

"I want to thank Jane Stewart, Fernando and everyone at the Georgia SPCA for rescuing me from the dog fighting ring and sticking by my side until my special people, John and Robin, could find me. When I was going bonkers from being in a kennel too long, the Georgia SPCA found a place for me to live where I could relax and be happy while I waited on my forever home.

"I want to thank my bestest friend Kathy Hemmings for never giving up on me. Miss Kathy sponsored me at U.S. Canine where Angie Woods, Josh and the rest of the team helped me to overcome my fears and become the dog everyone knew I could be. I love you all!

"Thank you to everyone that has shared my story, said a prayer for me and been my advocate. I know without all of you this day would never have been possible. I can't thank all of my two legged friends enough. You are my guardian angels and I love you all! ~ Luv, Sadie"

The SPCA is a non-profit that rescues and rehabs animals for new homes.
