Sadie Spaniel & Labrador Retriever Mix Mississauga, ON

Sadie is 1 year old and weighs approximately 45 lbs. She was born on the streets and rescued along with her siblings (Billy and Rosie also posted on our website) by a Good Samaritan who brought them to a shelter. Sadie is calm, VERY sweet, VERY gentle and VERY affectionate in nature: she enjoys being loved on! She is polite and has good manners as she will not jump up during greetings. Since she was born on the streets and likely suffered abuse at the hands of people, she is weary when first meeting strangers, however she warms up with a slow introduction and a tasty treat. Sadie is sociable, playful and gets along with her siblings, she loves playing with her stuffed toys and to chew on her bones however she likes to be in charge and will resource guard her food, toys and bones with other dogs (not with people) so we are seeking to adopt her to a home without other dogs. Sadie is smart and highly trainable as she is obedient and aims to please. She is crate trained and although she is catching on, she is not fully housebroken yet so her adoptive family will have to be willing to continue with her housebreaking training. Sadie enjoys going for walks. Because of her lack of exposure to living in a home environment, she is not suitable for apartment or condo living as she will alert her caregiver by barking when hearing unusual noises. PS: Sadie is adjusting very quickly to home life and has become a wonderful companion to her caregivers. Since we know for certain she was not raised with children, we are seeking to adopt her to an experienced and mature household (18 years of age and older).
