About Sade

Sade is an Australian Kelpie mix with a knack for making herself right at home. She’s very sweet, always eager to be close, and never turns down a good cuddle. Sade learns fast—she’s already mastered “sit” and just about has “shake” figured out. Training her is a breeze because she’ll do just about anything for a bite of lunch meat. She’s treat and toy motivated, which makes teaching new tricks simple and fun. Crate time comes easy, and she rides well in the car. Sade loves playing fetch and will reliably bring back any ball or bumper. She’s still working out the mechanics of tug-of-war, but she’s willing to try. Sade is gentle and enjoys running around with her dog friends. After meeting a few cats, she’s decided they’re puzzling and a bit intimidating, so she prefers to keep her distance. She’s house trained, spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and tested heartworm negative. At about a year old and 35 pounds, Sade is looking for a home where she can play, learn, and be the center of attention. She gets along well with other dogs and children. Give her a chance—she’s the perfect mix of playful spirit and cuddly companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
