About Sadie

Sadie came to the shelter needing time to settle in, but she's gained confidence and now greets each day with a playful energy. At heart she's still a puppy, so expect jumping and an occasional nip—she’ll need guidance to learn polite manners, especially around young kids. Her DNA shows quite the mix: Chihuahua, Australian Cattle Dog, Chow Chow, American Pit Bull Terrier, and American Staffordshire Terrier. She thrives with other small dogs and would do best in a home where a canine friend could show her the ropes. Sadie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for her next chapter with a family that appreciates a bouncy and affectionate companion. Bring patience, some toys, and be ready for both cuddles and spirited fun. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
