Hi, I’m Sadie ???? I’m a total darling... just a quiet one at first. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I know you’re my person, my heart is all yours. I bond deeply and love my people so much. I really enjoy other dogs and honestly thrive off their energy. Having a confident, friendly playmate helps me feel safe and brings out my playful, happy side. I’d absolutely love a dog buddy in my new home to show me the ropes and share some zoomies. I’m new to the shelter, and sometimes when dogs first arrive in a shelter environment, we can "shut down." It’s a normal stress response. Everything smells different, sounds different, and feels overwhelming. Some of us get extra quiet, sleep more, or seem unsure — it’s just our way of coping while we figure things out. Once we settle in and feel safe, our true personalities start to shine. That’s me. I promise there’s a loving, playful girl in here — I just need a little time to warm up and adjust. If you can give me patience, kindness, and maybe a dog friend to help me feel brave, I’ll give you loyalty, sweetness, and a heart full of love. ??
