About Sadie

Meet Sadie. Sadie is a delightful 7-year-old Australian Shepherd who has traveled quite a bit. Originally born in Texas, she made her way to Tennessee and finally settled in beautiful Hawaii, where she now seeks a forever home. Despite her age, Sadie is full of enthusiasm typical of her breed. She thrives when given tasks to complete and loves engaging in fun activities. Her perfect home would be active and structured, providing the exercise and mental stimulation she needs. As a fully housebroken indoor dog, Sadie can be left alone, especially if she has her toys nearby. She has a special affinity for water, making her an ideal companion for someone who enjoys beach outings. Her favorite snacks include frozen veggies and blueberries! Sadie is initially shy when meeting new people, but with some patience, her playful side shines through. Currently, she lives with cats, but they have always been kept separate, and she’ll need similar management in her future home. Looking for a home without other dogs, Sadie doesn’t do well with young children. Any kids in the household should be at least 15 years old, as she prefers older kids who can respect her boundaries. In the car, Sadie is a superstar and knows commands like sit, dance, lay down, and shake. For walks, a front-leading harness works best to manage her excitement. Sadie needs someone who appreciates the personality and requirements of an Australian Shepherd and is ready to give this loving senior the active lifestyle she craves. In return, she’ll be a faithful companion and adventurous buddy. Could Sadie be your next beach buddy?
