Sarah who was previously Xiao Guai who we named after one of our ladies for her zest for life, had a brutal start to life at the age of 3 months was abandoned and taken to a shelter with extremely harsh conditions where there was a lack of food, water and the sanitation was very poor. She was later rescued because of our dedicated rescuer and then began to flourish with gratitude. We believe every sweet soul such as Sarah and her friends deserves to be loved and cherished and given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now Sarah is looking for a special family to cherish her and be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through and a family that meets all her needs. Sarah was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends and just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in and day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Sarah was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen and is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. Sarah is the most beautiful soul and loves hard when people love her. She now sits there and stares at her foster mum with so much love. She knows her world is so very different. Her foster mum said she is such a good girl and up for anything and comes when she calls her and gets so excited at times, ie when it’s time to get up, dinner time, going for adventures. She radiates gratitude. She just wants you to love her and she will love you back. She adores being hugged and held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love and affection apart from a day or 2 at her foster home in China. She is a really smart girl too because on the day of arrival in her foster home she taught herself to run up hardwood stairs & follow her foster mum. When she finds people who love her they become his world. She is such a soft gentle girl who gets so excited every time she sees her foster mum and her little tail is always wagging with glee. She loves to run and play with her foster siblings and must go to a home with another dog who will be company for her. She loves a good outfit & will get ready for you to put one on her. Sarah eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats and supplements. She also enjoys collagen sticks and bully sticks. All of her treats are homemade and we are still putting more weight on her. Sarah has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. She would need continued work walking on her harness & leash. Sarah is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Sarah adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming her, baths, the hairdryer she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Sarah & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. So far she has not started showing interest in toys in her foster home. Sarah has learnt to ride in the car and does well in the car and enjoys a good car ride. She is such an amazing, loving little lady. With Sarah we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl. We are also looking for a forever home for Sarah where someone is home during the day or Sarah can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Sarah is looking for a forever home who will cherish her and love her as she should be loved and be very patient with her and understanding. Sarah has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes and sizes and she is currently with other dogs and enjoys their company in her loving foster home. She can be found at times snuggled up to her foster siblings and will want to sleep in bed with you and she does in her current loving foster home. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Sarah’s new forever home if it’s a free standing home. Sarah is now roughly 16 lbs & 5 years old. She is spayed & perhaps a havapoo & what she is mixed with we are not sure? She is microchipped, up to date on her shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. We have spent over $2000 on Sarah with bringing her to the US with her travel airfare paying for her medical care, including, shots, spay microchip etc, than her adoption fee comes close to covering. Sarah has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had Sarah with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals. We were not there when Sarah was conceived so we do not know who her parents were and it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures and decide what they think her breed is. As with all of our rescues and Sarah’s friends she will need work on potty training and training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life and that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Sarah potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through and what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them and if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training and not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Sarah and going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end and are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on and remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview and a virtual home visit using Zoom followed by a meet and greet and if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Sarah who understands her needs and that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives and please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. Sarah has an adoption fee of $885 & is ready for her truly loving forever home and compassion and understanding of what she has been through.
