Little Sadie is a very sweet girl who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. She is understandably terrified in new environments, but day by day she is making gentle progress. Sadie currently needs to be picked up to go outside for potty breaks, where she will go once placed outdoors. Because she may try to run off and hide when scared, a doggy playpen is strongly recommended until she becomes more comfortable and confident in her surroundings.
Sadie is looking for a calm, quiet home with a patient adopter who uses a soft, reassuring voice and understands that trust takes time. She came from a hoarding situation where there were far too many dogs, and it's likely she did not receive much individual handling or human touch. Because of this, hands can still scare her. For comfort, she is gently picked up using a soft blanket, and she enjoys being placed on the couch to snuggle. While she has made wonderful progress, she is still fearful when it's time to be picked up and will need continued patience and understanding.
Medically, Sadie has mammary tumors that will be removed when she is spayed. She also has a cataract in one eye and possible glaucoma. She has been through so much already and truly deserves a home where she can finally feel safe and loved.
Sadie would likely do best in a peaceful home and may do well with older, respectful children (approximately 11 years and up) who can give her space and allow her to open up at her own pace.
With time, consistency, and kindness, Sadie will be an incredibly rewarding companion.
Sadie is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. Sadie has will be spayed and has a microchip. Her adoption fee is $300.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.
