Mandy Belle Surprises Everyone – Adopted & Renamed Sadie

The Story of Mandy Belle
On July 16th, 2009, the same day that Trish and her daughters came to my home to meet Bonnie Belle, I received a phone call from a woman who wanted to surrender her border collie, Mandy. Mandy was a 2 year-old female who was used as a breeding dog. Even though Mandy was not what I would consider a beautiful border collie, she did produce beautiful merle puppies. Mandy was simply cute.

Mandy was owner-surrendered to me 2 days later on July 18th.

Mandy was not up-to-date on shots, nor was she spayed. Mandy was a registered Border Collie, registered with the IBCA and the ABCA. Her registration papers were quite impressive.

Her previous owners urged me not to have her adopted by a family with children, or with other dogs. Mandy quickly proved them wrong.

Although Mandy did nip at first, my Ozzie quickly taught her that she was a dog, and dogs play. Mandy really enjoyed herself while she was at our home. She and Ozzie would play for hours. Mandy also became very attached to both of my children, ages 6and 11.

Because Mandy had to be spayed, she stayed with me for a while.

After her spay, we placed Mandy on the website, and less than 2 weeks later, we received a fantastic application that was a perfect fit for Mandy. Mandy was adopted on August 4th, 2009. Mandy has been renamed to Sadie by her new owner.
