Sadey is Pure Sweetness

This sweet caramel-swirled girl walks around like a warm hug with legs. Her name is Sadey, spelled S-A-D-E-Y, because even her name deserves a little extra sparkle. She's got those soft, floppy ears that look like angels handcrafted them, and a smile so sweet it could power a small town. When Sadey loves you (which takes, oh... about three seconds), she does that full-body lean that slowly melts into a dramatic flop right onto your feet. Belly rubs are mandatory, kisses are unlimited, and personal space is a concept she's unfamiliar with. We think Sadey is a Lab/Golden Retriever mix, but with rescue, it's always a best guess! She currently weighs 58 lbs and is about 2 years old, so she's past the crazy puppy stage and in the perfect place to love exploring and fun just as much as she loves a long nap on the couch! Sadey greets new people like she's been waiting her whole life to meet you. She warms up instantly and showers everyone with affection. The term "stranger danger" does not exist in her vocabulary; whoever happens to be holding snacks or just existing nearby will be met with her "I love you already!!!" energy, delivered in a soft, polite, wiggly package. When it comes to other dogs, Sadey is a total character. She has a whole playlist of play styles: polite sniffing, zoomy circles, goofy pounces, paws in the air, full body bumps, along with some mouthy play and excited play-talk that sounds like she's narrating her own sitcom. She's not wild or overwhelming, just a creative little social butterfly who loves making doggy friends and has great manners once everyone gets acquainted. She handles the rough-and-rowdy types like a champ, but she's just as happy hanging with the mellow crowd. She'd thrive with a friendly canine sibling, but also rocks being the adorable only child. Sadey is cat-friendly too and has done great with our house cat Biggie, and has also lived in a home with cats before. She treats them like quirky little roommates, curious but respectful, and always ready to give them space if they give her "the look." With kids (especially older ones), she's sweet, gentle, and very "pick me, pick me!" in the cutest way possible. We haven't seen her around younger children, but it's never a big deal to test if Sadey is littles-approved! Just let us know! She loves her walks, loves exploring, loves being adored, and loves being included in whatever her people are doing. When out and about on a walk, she will pull every now and then out of excitement and likes to show off her voice when she sees a friendly face or a doggy friend. She does well with correction, and with consistency and structured walks, Sadey will continue to learn that's not very lady-like behavior. And when the adventures wind down? She curls up into the softest, sleepiest little cinnamon roll, sighs dramatically, and powers down for snuggle time.

Ideal Home

Sadey would thrive with a semi-active family in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, play chase with her potential doggy siblings, and enjoy those nice summer days. She thrives with structure and will do best with an adopter that has a little experience under their belt and will provide her the structure that she needs. Also, bonus points if you have a pool or some form of water nearby because she loves the water and has the best time splashing around, kicking up water. Not sure what Sadey loves most though...playing in the water or the towel dry afterwards LOL. It's a win-win situation regardless for Sadey.
