Sadie is an Australian Heeler/Cattle Dog/Boxer mix, around 5 years old, and weighs 58 lbs. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines—and she may genuinely be one of the most loving dogs you’ll ever meet. Sadie came to Freedom Street as a staff favorite from a large high intake shelter where she was adored by all. She instantly trusts people and makes it her mission to win over every new friend she meets. Her approach is simple: gently attach herself to your leg, hand, or chest until you understand the assignment—belly rubs are required! Once Sadie chooses you as her person, she wants to be close: snuggled on the couch, following you from room to room, and ideally sleeping in your bed. Sadie does well with other dogs and has been around many in different homes without issues. She tends to prefer mature dogs over puppy chaos. With cats, she mostly ignores them on walks, though she hasn’t been tested with a cat in a home. She’s a wonderful walker with a medium energy level—happy to get out and go, but also perfectly content to lounge. She does hit the 15-minute snooze button in the morning first, which only makes her more lovable. Inside the home, Sadie is a Dream Girl. She’s fully house-trained, has never been destructive, and doesn’t chew or take things that aren’t hers. If she ever shows interest in something she shouldn’t have, a simple correction is enough—she’ll ignore it from then on. She only barks if someone knocks at the door, and even then she stays calm—she’s just doing her “I’ve got this” job.
Ideal Home
Sadie loves to be close to her people and would thrive in a home where she can snuggle on the couch, follow you from room to room, and ideally sleep in your bed.
Ongoing Health
Sadie had some bumps under her skin that were removed when she was spayed. These were benign. Prior to this surgery, an echo was done to ensure all was good; she has a slight heart murmur but is doing great per the vet.
Training & Support
Sadie is house-trained and has no destructive tendencies. A simple correction is enough if she shows interest in something she shouldn't have. She only barks at the door as a way to alert her humans.
