Sweetie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sweetie
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Collie, Golden Retriever
Home: Gastonia, North Carolina, USA
 
   Meet Sweetie, named because she's just the sweetest dog I've ever known. We rescued Sweetie from a neglectful home three years ago. She was chained outside in bad weather and could not get to her food, water, or shelter. We asked the residents if they would like to give the dog a good home, and they sold her to us for $15.00. Best $15 we've ever spent!

    We got her home to find the best behaved, most loving dog. She adores kids and will roll over for anyone to rub her tummy. She snuggles with the cats and loves to go for long walks.

    When I've had a bad day, all I have to do is see this face greet me at the door to make me smile again. Look at her! How can that face not make you melt? She is truly a remarkable dog.

    Last year, Sweetie was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. She had a really tough time for a while, but with medication she's now doing well and should have a normal life. She's made our lives very special.
