Sabrina fair
Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
Listen for dear honour's sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save.
--John Milton

Not a nymph, but surely a fair wee frog, Sabrina is enchanting her foster parents with her charms. Surrendered to FBRN due to a change in family circumstances, this two year-old is easily adapting to foster care.

With a wiggly butt, a waggly nub, and a cute little "sit", Sabrina happily greets all comers. She likes the mailman, policeman, repairman, and the resident cats. The repairman, she kissed on the nose. The cats, she tried to engage in play until she learned that they come equipped with pointy things on their feet! She's more enthused about people and cats than other dogs, however. She ignores her foster sister and was content to sit beside her family rather than play with other dogs at the park.

Sabrina does listen and is quickly learning the rules of the house. With positive reinforcement, she responds very well. Leaping over the couch, as well as jumping and pawing for attention, are discouraged. Her full body wiggle while trying to sit appropriately is adorable, and Sabrina is rewarded with lots of praise. In true bully fashion, however, her return when called is a sometime-y thing. She can never be trusted off leash in an unfenced area.

At twenty-four pounds of Frenchie pulchritude, Sabrina seems to have been well cared for. Her shots are current and she is reliably housebroken, although she piddles submissively when excited. A friendly trip to the vet will make sure that all is in order and that there is nothing physical causing the piddling. A nice paw-dicure will trim her overly long nails.

A pretty girl is like a poem, and Sabrina has us waxing lyrical! Your kind contribution towards her care would be more poetry to our ears. Please click on her picture to the right to donate.
