Sadie

Meet Sadie, the resident couch potato Aussie mix!<br/><br/>Don’t let her breed fool you—this sweet, 4-year-old, 35-pound girl is mostly a lover, not a herder. Sadie is a master of affection who loves nothing more than a good cuddle session and a long nap on the sofa. She gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home and even does well with respectful kids.<br/><br/>A few of Sadie’s character traits:<br/><br/>Slow and steady: Sadie is a sweet and loving girl who enjoys meeting new people but may be a bit anxious initially. With her affection-demanding nature, she loves to be near her people but is also perfectly happy to relax on her own.<br/><br/>Loves to love: Sadie is an expert at giving wet, slobbery kisses. She’s also constantly sticking her tongue out in a cute, silly way that shows off her sweet nature.<br/><br/>Potty song: She is housebroken and crate-trained. Even with a regular schedule, she will whine to let her foster mom know when she needs to go potty, just to make sure you didn’t forget!<br/><br/>Quick to learn: Sadie is making great progress on not rushing out an open door and will need ongoing work. She’s a smart girl who knows “Sit,” “Down,” and “Lay Down” and is ready for a patient family to continue her training.<br/><br/>Sadie’s ideal family is one with no cats, as her prey drive is too strong to live safely with felines. A home with patient, respectful kids would also be a great fit. She’s happy with a medium walk each day, plus some engaging enrichment activities to keep her mind busy. If you’re looking for a devoted cuddle bug who will cover you in kisses, Sadie is the girl for you!<br/><br/>If you’d like to be considered to adopt, the first step in the process is to submit an application through our website: http://athenscaninerescue.com/adoption-procedures/.

WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING OUT OF STATE APPLICATIONS FOR DOGS SIX MONTHS OR YOUNGER.<br/><br/>We do not have a facility and operate through a network of foster homes. Thus, we do not have a phone number.
