About Me

Sadie loves to be right next to her people. Sometimes she even fancies herself a lap dog. She’s a pretty low key dog, taking leisurely walks and smelling all of the trees, bushes, light poles, and sign posts along the way. But she picks up the pace on the down hill stretches, wanting to run as fast as she can to the bottom. Occasionally she’ll find a nice sunny patch of grass and flop over for a little rest.

Sadie would love a home with a fenced yard where she can run free of the confines of a harness and leash.

Inside, she’s just as low-key – snoozing right next to you, wherever you are in the house. She entertains herself by chewing on stuffed toys or fleece blankets and will play tug of war with her toys.

Sadie sometimes barks when first meeting new people, especially when they enter a room through a closed door, but warms up quickly when they show her affection.

Sadie doesn’t give any signal when she needs to go out to potty, so sometimes has accidents in the house. A home with a fenced yard and a doggy door might be a great solution.

 

Sadie might be ok with a canine sibling, but would really like to have all of your attention and love.   She has a very strong prey drive, so should not be left unattended with cats or other small pets..   Her previous life may not have been very positive, so she is afraid of sudden, loud noises and movement. A quiet, calm home would be best.
