Savannah, TN - It's going to be a heartbreaking day for Savannah's K-9 Sanctuary owner, Sally Burnham, when the doors shut for the last time on the dogs she has rescued and created a shelter for.  Burnham recently had to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and if the home sells, she and the nearly 70 dogs will have to vacate the property.
