Sadie also clearly had emotional damage, she said. She slept a lot, acted timidly, was afraid to climb stairs and hid whenever she heard a loud noise. But after about a week, she started to run, play and climb their house's stairs, Amy Pursley said.
“Once she realized what was upstairs — big beds and shoes — she was happy to go there,” she said.
Today, Sadie loves going on walks, running in the backyard, sitting on the couch, cuddling with family members, socializing with other dogs, acting silly — particularly by rolling on her back — and eating, Amy Pursley said.
She's gained about 15 pounds since she's been adopted.
