About Sadie

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Sadie, a sweet Dachshund mix who weighs about 20 lbs and will be 5 years old in the spring. She is incredibly affectionate and adores snuggling with her person. Sadie is very easy to care for: she enjoys sleeping in, doesn’t bark, and only asks for a few walks a day to explore and handle her business in the fresh air. Sadie has all her vaccinations up to date, is spayed, and is house trained. She is loyal and protective, which means she sometimes growls at unfamiliar dogs, so she does best when kept at a distance from them. With strangers, Sadie can be a little shy and prefers to take her time warming up. Sadie's current owner is aging and can’t provide the longer walks she needs, so she is starting to gain some weight. A younger owner who can give her more exercise would be perfect, and she’d truly benefit from a fenced yard to enjoy. If you’re searching for a loving companion who will happily curl up by your side, Sadie is ready for you! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
