About Sadie

Sadie’s face has some gray, but her energy still matches a much younger dog. At ten years old and about 60 lbs, Sadie enjoys running, playing, and generally being in the thick of family life. She’s easily up for adventures in the yard or curling up next to you when it’s time to wind down. Quick to trust, Sadie is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and good when left alone—she won’t cause trouble or chew up your house. Kids and adults both find a friend in Sadie, and she also gets along well with other dogs, though she can sometimes be a bit much for very small pups. Her snuggling is just as legendary as her playfulness. She knows basic commands and has her shots up to date. If you want a loyal and spirited companion who is past the puppy stage but still eager for action, Sadie is likely the one. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
