About Sadie

Sadie is a vibrant 6-year-old Australian Shepherd looking for her forever home. Currently in foster care in Foxboro, MA, she is intelligent and sweet, requiring an experienced owner familiar with herding breeds. Sadie thrives on structure and loves mental stimulation, so her new family should be ready to provide plenty of interactive playtime and affection. Having worked on her fitness journey, she needs a dedicated owner to help her continue losing weight through gradual exercise. Ideally, she'd do best with someone who works from home or isn’t away for long periods, as she enjoys engaging with her person throughout the day. A fenced yard is essential, especially since her favorite pastime is playing fetch. While Sadie is house trained, she prefers sleeping in her x-pen rather than a crate. She's responsive to commands like “sit” and “drop it” and can learn new tricks with time and patience. Though she has shared a home with another dog, she may be happiest as the only pet, so a meet and greet is necessary to ensure a good match. Due to her prey drive, she should not be placed in a home with cats or small animals. However, her interactions with new people show her affectionate side when slowly introduced. If you’re a savvy dog owner ready to embrace Sadie’s energetic spirit, she could be the companion you’ve been waiting for. Your journey with Sadie starts today!
