He is the funniest looking little patchwork doggie ever.

He used to belong to my niece's boyfriend's sister, but that girl had no clue regarding how to have a pet. She kept him locked in a nasty dirty kennel in a garage which was overrun by red ants which invaded his kennel and were covering him and stinging him.

Sadie was horrified and sad that they did not deserve to have a dog and took him home with her.

My sister fell in love with him, even though he had many bad habits that were a result of being treated so poorly. It took forever to potty train him (and he still has accidents from time to time) but he is loved and happy now. When the former owner came and wanted him back, Tammy gave her money and said, "We love him now and we are not giving him up."

If he loses sight of Tammy for an instant, he gets very stressed and shakes uncontrollably. He is so afraid he will lose his new momma and have to go back to the squalor and hell he was in before.

Good for Sadie.

I wouldn't even have given the people money. Just threatened to call animal control and report them for animal abuse.

That coloring would be....cattle dog?

His coloring looks Australian Shepherd to me--but he is a papillion/chihauhau mix. Spelling uncertain.
