About Seren Sadie

Seren Sadie is a 6-year-old German Shepherd/Chow mix who looks for a calm, predictable home with adults or older, respectful kids. She needs time to trust new people—she is reserved, barks loudly to alert you about any commotion outside, and doesn’t do well with constant visitors or young children who may not respect her space. With patience and consistency, she becomes affectionate and loyal, often placing her paw on your leg to ask for attention. Seren Sadie does well with other dogs after slow introductions and is actually more confident when another dog sets the example. This girl is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and enjoys car rides. She follows a solid routine—sleeping in her crate at night but would happily share your bed if allowed. While not a big snuggler, Seren Sadie loves to be nearby and enjoys having her ears scratched. Her medium energy means she likes outdoor time, especially if you’re outside with her, and she thrives with a secure fenced yard. Apartments and condos won’t suit her; she needs a quieter setup with room to roam safely. Her grooming routine is frequent—she sheds heavily, but being brushed is a treat for her, and she’s well-behaved at the groomer. Seren Sadie graduated from the Puppies For Parole Program and comes with a handbook outlining her training. She’s treat-motivated, especially for chicken, but can be picky. She’s ready for a steady, caring home within an hour of St. Louis, MO, where her boundaries will be respected and where she can stay close to her people. Think you are the one?
