BrandieBrandie came to us on February 1, 2001 just two weeks after losing Steffie. Brandie was 10 1/2 years old. This was also just 2 months prior to moving to Pennsylvania. I had known Brandie and her elderly owners since they rescued her in 1991. She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known. Brandie was a happy go lucky outdoor dog at the elderly couple’s ranch home with one other female German Shepherd named Sharma. I met and became friends with the elderly couple while working for a veterinarian. After some help problems of theirs, I would help them care for Brandie and Sharma when I could. Sharma passed away at their home and soon it was obvious that the elderly couple would need help soon living. After the Mrs. passed away the Mr. Needed to go to assisted living and that did not include Brandie. Their son called me and said I had two weeks to find Brandie a home or he would have to put her down. His father was not aware of his plans. I placed ads and tried all I could, I found Brandie a home with a single lady that swore she would keep her forever. I felt I had lied to Brandie’s owner (who was told Brandie was coming to live with me) but made the lady promise to care for Brandie and I believed she would. Earlier in their lives, they bred Brandie to an all black German Shepherds. Brandie gave birth to the puppies on January 23, 1993. Tim and I adopted one of those puppies and named her STEFFIE… Just two weeks after losing Steffie to nasal cancer I got a call from the lady I had placed Brandie with… she could no longer keep Brandie and asked if I would help her find a home Brandie was 11 years old now and I needed her as much as she needed me. Of course Tim agreed that we take Brandie. I picked Brandie up from her “foster” home and took her home , two months later Brandie rode with me to Pennsylvania to live out the rest of her life with us. 9/90 03/08/2003 |
