Handicapped? NOT, in the Sarasota area

After my posting about Lucky in Lake County, my friend Rhys, brought up some very good points about animals which are supposedly handicapped. She mentioned one of her favorite dogs at Satchel's, which is a rescue near and dear to both our hearts.

Eileen is a tripod. She only has 3 legs but you would never know that when watching her run and play. She would have to slow down a bit for you to see she is missing a front leg.

Although she came in to Satchel's with a buddy, Wilbur, she would probably need to be the only dog in the home as she is very picky about her playmates. Unless you have room for two and she would love to have Wilbur, who is a perfect older gentleman, accompany her to a new home.

Eileen knows her name, and she knows how to "sit" and "lay down". She comes when called and just loves to play in the water. She is good with some dogs but not all dogs. When Ilene likes a another dog, she will play for hours. Ilene definitely loves soft toys and treats. She is ready for a ride in the car anytime. She's a one happy-go-lucky dog. Will you pick her?

If you are looking for a great companion, please contact Satchel's Last Resort at comments@satchelslastresort.com and make an appointment to meet Eileen.
