Safi & Daisy – A Wonderful Family – Part 1

Safi is a beautiful and sweet Rottweiler mix who lives with Daisy, a beautiful and sweet Collie mix.  We were fortunate to spend time with them and their family; another dog named Lucy, a cat named Coco, and two wonderful humans.    All of the animals are rescues and got very lucky finding this incredible home.

UPDATE:  Safi was adopted from the Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA).  Soon after this post, I received the following email which really made me smile: 

“I used to volunteer for FOHA when Safi was there.  I don’t live there anymore, but I still try to keep up with the shelter and the dogs I used to know.  .  .  I think Safi was already at FOHA when I began there in 2002, and she was still there when I moved several years later.  I think she was at the shelter so long because many people were intimidated by her.  People were afraid she might be aggressive, so it’s really great to see her in a home with two smaller dogs she clearly loves, lying contentedly on the couch with her people, and playing like a big puppy.  She looks so fit, healthy, and happy. ”

Well, she is fit, healthy, happy and incredibly sweet.  It’s sad that she was in the shelter so long, but she is one of the luckiest dogs I know when it comes to her adopted family.

Meet Safi:

This is her sister Daisy.  Daisy is older than Safi, but in pack terms, she’s the middle sister.  Daisy is gorgeous and very playful!
