About Sadie

Sadie is a sweet, five-year-old border collie who’s learning to navigate her new life as a house dog after spending her earlier years on a farm. While she may not be interested in typical toys, her heart is set on enjoying bones, puzzle games, and mental challenges like hide and seek. Sadie is smart and comes equipped with leash training, potty training, and basic commands. She’s also quite treat motivated, making training sessions a breeze. Though she has some initial apprehension around strangers, she’s been adjusting well and is eager for love and belly rubs. Sadie would thrive best in an adult-only home where she can receive dedicated training and plenty of outdoor activities to keep her engaged and happy. Smaller children should be avoided, as she may ‘check’ for space around them. Sadie is all about affections and will surely appreciate every moment shared. Ready to meet her new best friend?
