STINKY SADEE what have they done . . .

SADEE IN FLORIDA 18 MAY 2016
On 17 May, 3:27 p.m., Jackie Ike writes: Shall I get this one? 3:45 p.m.: I just talked to them. She is nine years old; she was an owner surrender yesterday and she is ready to go. I can go tomorrow morning. If she needs shots, etc., fee is $145.00. Her name is Sadee and the owners were moving . . . go figure. The only thing the owners said was . . . they moved here from another state and she has had bad allergy issues and they could not afford the vet bills any more. I get BJ's OK and tell Jackie to get her on Wednesday. She replies: I'll be there in the morning then. They open at 10 and this person said I should be able to pull her as rescue, for $10.00.
When Jackie arrived at the shelter the next day, Sadee had not been vetted and wouldn't be available for several hours. Jackie decided to wait so no one else could take her (in the horrible condition Sadee was in, this was doubtful, but one never knows.) Several hours later, Jackie & Sadee arrived at the Skrenninger SafeHouse . . .
I've worked with CRUSA for 11 years now, and I have to say I have NEVER fostered a dog in this poor health. Obviously, this was going to take more than a good bath and decent food, so we are going the vet at 5:40 p.m. Jackie & FosterMom Andréa say I'm gonna be REALLY CUTE when I am all better! At this time, Sadee is in quarantine in a large wire crate in our aire-conditioned garage, until she is free of fleas (she was given CAPSTAR at the shelter) and I'm assured her dermatitis isn't something that could affect the Skrenninger Quartet. Sadee seems to be a laid-back girl; walks on leash in her new harness and rests quietly in her crate. She chews and scratches, something that will end tonight, I hope! I CANNOT IMAGINE SOMEONE LEAVING A DOG TO GET INTO THIS CONDITION BEFORE SEEKING HELP. (Oh, did I mention that she is another Big Galoot who weighs 21 pounds?? Why do I get all the big ones???) TRACIE COTTON: Oh my goodness . . . poor baby. It took a long time for her to get in that condition, so it appears they weren't taking care of her at all! Lucky girl is in good hands now. Better that they left her! KATHY WALKER: Looks like Sadee's going to need a lot of TLC to get back into some kind of good health. Poor pup must be so miserable! JACKIE IKE: She was miserable on the drive to Andréa's house. she was constantly chewing her paws. Her eyes are terrible; her ears are discharging stuff. I am so thankful we have her. She is a beautiful color and sweet, sweet face! MARSHA AARONS: How sad. I can only imagine how long this poor baby suffered, between the skin, fleas and eyes. So glad she is in rescue. She looks like a project, but will be a cute pup. PATRICIA YARNOT: Poor new rescue. How sad for her. At least her suffering is on the mend now that she's safe with you. I'm sure SweeTea will make her feel welcome. A new project dog. NEAL SKRENES In Bali: That brought tears to my eyes. I hope that all goes well for her. MARILYN ROYLE: Thank you, Jackie, for bringing her to CRUSA, and to Andréa. My heart goes out to this poor sweet dog for what she has been through. She is in safe and loving hands now and on her way to recovery, although I am sure it will be a long hard road. Thanks to all who helped her along her way.

SADEE GOES TO THE VET HERE
