How this pet arrived: Sadie was brought in by her previous owner on April 4, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Sadie! Sadie is a sweet, sensitive puppy who is looking for a patient and understanding home. She has a history of fearful behavior and will likely be more timid than the average dog, especially when it comes to new people, places, and experiences. Because of this, Sadie will need adopters who are committed to moving at her pace and giving her the time and space she needs to feel safe. Sadie has previously lived with cats and did well with them. If there are any children in the home, they must be aged 12 and older, and all children must be present during meet-and-greets to ensure everyone is a good match. In her new home, Sadie will benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Her adopters should keep her world small at first and slowly introduce new experiences over time. Busy or overwhelming environments-such as dog parks, pet stores, parties, or grooming visits-should be avoided until she has built more confidence. Sadie will need the freedom to choose how and when she interacts. Giving her space and allowing her to approach at her own pace will help build trust. Positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping her feel secure-bonding over food, treats, and play is highly encouraged. Keeping treats readily available and offering them frequently will help her form positive associations with new experiences. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Sadie has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. Be sure to bring a leash and collar for a safe ride home!At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered.
