Sadly, Oprah lost Sophie and Solomen, her beloved cocker spaniels, last year. On Sunday, March 1, 2009, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham adopted a 10 week old Cocker Spaniel puppy from PAWS Chicago. Winfrey named her Sadie. Sadie was introduced to the world on Oprah’s show, Friday, March 5, 2009. Oprah commented, “I’m a mom again.” The show helped find homes for the last three siblings seeking adoption. They were all placed with homes by midday Friday after appearing on the show. Winfrey encouraged viewers to adopt from shelters where many people are giving up pets in these tough economic times.
Sadie was one of 11 puppies and 6 of the litter were brought to one of PAWS Chicago ad
option facilities. Sadie’s adoption helped bring attention to PAWS which stands for Pets Are Worth Saving. PAWS is a no kill humane organization founded in 1997. PAWS is a non-profit organization that receives no city,state or federal funding. PAWS owner, Paula Fasseas, said that the web site has been inundated as well as the phones and adoption center. She is thrilled because of the attention that is being brought to the homeless animals. Winfrey sponsors a room at the PAWS Clybourn facility in honor of Sophie and Oprah has been a long time supporter of PAWS Chicago.
