Sadie is a gentle soul around 1-2 years old, who is always looking to play with other dogs. Her current mission is getting our couch potato to play more. She’s afraid of swimming but absolutely loves to walk in the shallows near shore, prance in the water and try to eat the bubbles! Her favorite toy is a tennis ball, she loves to chase multiple at a time trying to fit two in her mouth at once.

She is anxious around new people, introductions require patience and a slow greeting.  The good thing is no matter how nervous she has been, she never reacts badly toward anyone, she just retreats. She doesn’t need tons of hands on love. She’s just happy to exist in your life!

Sadie has proven to be a master at learning commands: sit, lay (for down), paw (her left paw), ‘Otro’ (Spanish for ‘other’, indicating ‘other paw’), take a bow, wait, stay, up (for into the car), down (out of the car), off (when sniffing the counters), and touch (hold two fingers out voicing ‘touch’ and she’ll touch your fingers with her nose!).

We found doing these commands with her seemed to help her get comfortable with us, because they are something 'familiar' for her. She does need some chew toys available, otherwise she will find her own.  However, with a simple "A" or drop and she leaves it alone.

Sadie is currently working on her leash manners, and knows how to walk very well at your side with only some pulling! However, Sadie is always so excited to say hello to other dogs! Dogs are a MUST for Sadie. She is her most happy self around them! Sadie is 100% potty trained and has had no accidents. She has met cats before and is mostly curious but decided it wasn't worth it after it took a swing at her. Sadie would do best in a home with a yard for all the playing she plans to do with her furry besties. She thrives on a schedule. Not an intense schedule but she loves knowing what’s next because she can do it automatically and please you! Like when you wake up it means it’s outside time. After that she runs to her kennel because she knows it’s good time! Then outside again. Then she knows it’s time to play in the house. She will go seamlessly from activity to activity because she knows that’s how you like to run your day. You’ll know Sadie is happy when she zooms around the yard! Playing tag with others is her favorite game. She loves car rides and has learned she doesn’t have to be afraid of the window going up and down. Sadie’s safe place is her kennel. She likes to relax here with a sheet over the top to create a ‘cave like’ environment and have an interesting bone to chew on. She loves her kennel to be surrounded by noise and chaos because that’s how she knows that the other dogs are nearby.

Sadie is an amazing dog who is nervous but LOVES chaotic homes! If you have a home with loud children and other dogs and just want another sweet baby to dote on then sadie is your girl!
