This sweet caramel-swirled girl walks around like a warm hug with legs. Her name is Sadey, spelled S-A-D-E-Y, because even her name deserves a little extra sparkle. She's got those soft, floppy ears that look like angels handcrafted them, and a smile so sweet it could power a small town. When Sadey loves you (which takes, oh… about three seconds), she does that full-body lean that slowly melts into a dramatic flop right onto your feet. Belly rubs? Mandatory. Kisses? Unlimited. Personal space? She’s unfamiliar with the concept. We think Sadie is a Lab/ Golden Retriever mix, but with rescue, it's always a best guess! She currently weighs 58 lbs and is about 2 years old, so past the crazy puppy stage and in the perfect place to love exploring and fun just as much as she loves a long nap on the couch! Watch Sadey's video here! https://youtu.be/fpIECUls1RE?si=z2THWbvKNW4R5RIS Sadey greets new people like she’s been waiting her whole life to meet you. She warms up instantly and showers everyone with affection. The term stranger danger does not exist in her vocabulary. Whoever happens to be holding snacks or just existing nearby. She’s got that “I love you already!!!” energy, but delivered in a soft, polite, wiggly package. When it comes to other dogs, Sadey is a total character. She has a whole playlist of play styles: polite sniffing, zoomy circles, goofy pounces, paws in the air, full body bumps, along with some mouthy play as well and excited play-talk that sounds like she’s narrating her own sitcom. She’s not wild or overwhelming, just a creative little social butterfly who loves making doggy friends and has great manners once everyone gets acquainted. She handles the rough-and-rowdy types like a champ, but she’s just as happy hanging with the mellow crowd. She’d thrive with a friendly canine sibling, but also rocks being the adorable only child. Sadey is cat friendly too and has done great with our house cat biggie and has also lived in a home with cats before. She treats them like quirky little roommates LOL curious but respectful, and always ready to give them space if they give her “the look.” With kiddos (especially older ones), she’s sweet, gentle, and very “pick me, pick me!” in the cutest way possible. We haven’t seen her around younger kiddos, but it’s never a big deal to test if Sadey is littles approved! Just let us know! She loves her walks, loves exploring, loves being adored, and loves being included in whatever her people are doing. When out and about on a walk, she will pull every now and then out of excitement and likes to show off her voice when she see's a friendly face or a doggy friend. She does well with correction and with consistency and structured walks, Sadey will continue to learn that's not very lady like of her. And when the adventures wind down? She curls up into the softest, sleepiest little cinnamon roll, sighs dramatically, and powers down for snuggle time. Sadey would thrive with a semi active family in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, play chase with her potential doggy siblings, and enjoy those nice summer days. She thrives with structure and will do best with an adopter that has a little experience under the belt and will provide her the structure that she needs. Also, bonus points if you have a pool or some form of water nearby because she loves the water and has the best time splashing around kicking up water. Not sure what Sadey loves most though...playing in the water or the towel dry afterwards LOL. It's a win win situation regardless for Sadey. If you want a dog who is sunshine wrapped in fur, a sweetheart who greets life (and you) with a waggy tail, warm eyes, and pure-hearted joy, Sadey is waiting to wiggle her way right into your home and your heart. We are willing to test Sadey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
