Sadie has been running (these days walking) the TAM for 18 years! We adopted her as a puppy in 2006 from what was the Addison County Humane Society, now Homeward Bound. We’re told she is a Sheltie mix who was born in West Virginia and transported with her mom and litter mates to Middlebury.

She grew up in Weybridge with our kids, who were in pre- and elementary school when we adopted her and are now out of college and moved away.

Likes: trail running, hiking, chasing bunnies, fetching the ball, a good ear-scratch, napping in the mulch, greeting her family excitedly by doing the low-butt run.

Dislikes: swimming, being brushed, an audience while she eats, dropping the ball, looking anywhere near the camera for a photo.

She is the best of dogs who has given and accepted abundant love!
