She's overweight, though - overweight enough you could use her back as a table because it's so wide. Ok, that's mean. No one should use her as a table. Perhaps an ottoman, though. Ok, that's mean, too.
How about who ever adopts her put her on a diet so that one day soon she'll be able to touch her back toes again and climb the stairs without huffing.
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
Many, many years a go I knew a dog like Sadie. A stray, she carefully and cleverly hid her puppies in underground holes that we were told were old munitions storage places in a field in East Toronto. As the puppies got older and harder for the mother to hide a group of good people attempted a rescue. It took a long and patient time but eventually all were rescued and found loving homes. The mother who looked like this TAS Sadie was a calm, loyal and wonderful dog and the love of her rescuers life until her death many happy years later. Sadie was the name her new rescuer and owner gave her. Perhaps the name will bring TAS's Sadie good luck finding a similar good forever home! I hope so.
