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 us as a staff favorite from a large high intake shelter. She was an angel there, but sadly that shelter does not have many adopters. No surprise everyone loved her, because Sadie doesn’t just like people… she has a passion for them! She’s instantly trusting and makes it her mission to win over every new friend she meets. If you’re a stranger, Sadie’s approach is simple: gently attach herself to your leg, hand, or chest until you understand the assignment—belly rubs are required! And once she chooses you as her person? She wants to be close: Snuggled on the couch, following you from room to room, and yes… ideally sleeping in your bed. Sadie does well with other dogs and has been around many in different homes without issues. Once she settles in, and knows she is safe she is amazing. She even has a best-friend Golden Retriever she enjoys playdates with, and 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.
Ideal Home
Sadie would love a home where she can be close to her people, snuggling on the couch, following you from room to room, and ideally sleeping in your bed. She does well with other dogs and prefers mature dogs over puppy chaos.
Ongoing Health
Sadie had some bumps under her skin when she was spayed, which were proactively removed. They were benign, but she underwent a mastectomy as a precaution. Prior to this surgery, an echo was performed and she was found to have a slight heart murmur, but the vet deemed her to be in great shape.
Training & Support
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.
