Sadie's Story

Meet Sadie: 50 lbs. of goofy charm and wagging nub<br/>Age: 2.5 years old, spayed.<br/>Breed: Australian Shepherd: Tri-colored beauty<br/><br/>Sadie is 2.5-years-old and was raised in a loving home but, sadly, is no longer getting the attention or exercise she deserves. Her previous family realized it wasn’t fair to keep her cooped up with little interaction, so Sadie is now ready to find her forever home where she can shine! She lives outside and comes into the garage at night, so we are not sure if she is potty trained.<br/><br/>An adventurous spirit – loves to run and explore! A secure, fenced yard (at least 4 feet) is a must, or she’ll show off her climbing skills.<br/><br/>Sadie is all about the love! If you’re a stranger, don’t worry, her little nub will wiggle as she happily jumps up to give you kisses. She's affectionate, playful, and enjoys being touched all over. She's a good leash walker, loves people, and gets along with other dogs (sorry, no cats!). She hasn't been around young kids, but she’s a total sweetheart with adults. Sadie will need training since she is a jumper and needs to work on redirection and recall.<br/><br/>Likes: Belly rubs, digging in the yard, chewing on toys, chasing balls (fetch is optional), and sitting for treats.<br/>Energy level: Medium – enough for fun, but not a wild child.<br/><br/>What’s Next?<br/>If you’re ready to open your heart (and maybe your fence) to Sadie, let us know! You would be giving a fun-loving pup a second chance at the happy life she deserves.<br/><br/>Apply at Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic, https://aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/applications-2/
