ADDIE

Addie was owner released to the Murray animal shelter in August after the death of one of her owners. The woman who turned her in told us that she was good with their grandchildren, loves other dogs, unknown with cats, and is high energy. They were told when they got her she was a vizsla/lab mix. At just 1-yr old, Addie is a petite girl with a short slick V coat, saddle down the back, long natural tail and dew claws on. She is house trained, a furniture pro and chews mostly on appropriate doggie toys and bones. She is a counter-cruiser, a bit of a barker when she plays and needs obedience work but does calm down well in the house.

In September Addie caught a ride to Salt Lake with Penny & Frank on their way to the Vizsla rescue picnic and the next day hopped on the bus with Daryl for a ride to meet Laura in St. George. Laura had lost Abby (about 11-yrs old) in April and by September was ready to adopt again. After having lost two older dogs in just a few years Laura was interested in a bit younger dog as companion to her and 6-yr old Bu. Little Addie was a *bit* younger than what Laura envisioned but she was every bit as sweet and maybe even sassier than Miss Abby. After weighing the pros and cons Laura decided that she and Bu were up to the challenge and adopted Little Miss Addie. After just a matter of weeks, Laura reports that Addie is getting better about not barking quite so much and she & Bu are already becoming rough and tumble buddies.
