About Sadie

Sadie is a timid yet sweet 3-year-old Chihuahua looking for a special home. She was rescued from a challenging situation and spent about a year in a loving foster environment. Although she is fearful of loud noises and new experiences, she finds comfort in quiet spaces and seeks solace in familiar surroundings, often hiding in cozy spots like the pantry or bathroom. Sadie does well with calm company and enjoys the presence of other dogs, although she prefers a gentle approach to play; she might growl if faced with overly energetic canines. This little lady will need a patient adopter who can offer her a securely fenced yard and the option to cuddle in bed. She has never shown aggression, accepting affection and being picked up without issue. Sadie is best suited for households with older, calmer children, as she is still adjusting to her new life. If given time and love, Sadie will come out of her shell and show her gentle nature. Will you be the one to help her flourish? Click apply to start the adoption process.
