About Sadie

Sadie is a lovely 2 to 3-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd weighing 33 pounds. She has a gentle demeanor that may require some time to adjust, but once she bonds with you, expect loyalty, companionship, and cozy couch snuggles. While initially timid around new people, her affectionate nature shines through with a little patience and kindness. Sadie is house trained and crate trained, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a sweet and calming presence at home. She gets along well with other dogs, although she hasn't quite learned how to play yet. It’s important to note that she’d thrive in a quieter environment, ideally without young children, as boisterous kids might overwhelm her.

She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you’d like to meet Sadie, please submit an application at K9 Kindness Rescue.
