Sadie

Sweet-natured indoors and game for adventure outside, Sadie is a great fit for a moderately active home -- whether you’re an individual, a couple, or a family, but we do feel she would thrive as the only pet.

This Boxer loves couch cuddles, porch snoozes, backyard ball time and neighborhood strolls. Ask if she wants to go outside and she comes alive, spinning in happy circles with a little excited whine.

She’s good with kids and has done well with a kindergarten-aged neighbor and her foster’s young teen. She likes a slow hello with new people; give her a moment to settle and, once she feels safe, she’s your buddy.

Sadie is house trained, leash trained, and crate trained, though she feels nervous confined in a crate; she has free-roamed for up to four hours with no mischief. Her foster works from home, so she goes outside several times a day. On walks she can be protective and may bark or growl at passersby, but her foster is working to soften that tendency.

With some missing teeth, she eats water-softened kibble in three small meals, which has helped her weight. Since she can fixate on squirrels, cats and some dogs, a secure, taller privacy fence is preferred for Sadie to live her best life.
