Sadie: Adopted!


Sadie has been with her loving foster parents for almost two years. Her foster family is committed to finding her a home with adequate space for her to run and exercise. If you are interested in meeting Sadie please contact Meagan at mwells1474@gmail.com or 817-992-1677. 

Sadie's Story:


Sadie was found running back and forth across a busy street close to our house almost two years ago.  We took her in and have found that Sadie is a sweet, loving, energetic, happy dog.  She was not micro-chipped nor did she have tags so she became part of our family and has been a big part of it ever since then.  We believe Sadie is around 3 years old and was told she is probably part pit bull, part weimaraner and could maybe even have some boxer in her.  She is currently 55-58 lbs.


Sadie is current on all shots (paperwork available), she takes her monthly heart worm and flea/tick medicine and as long as you give her lots of exercise, she's ready to go!  She has had some training and knows the basics (sit, down, "leave it", etc.).

Sadie is gentle (but very strong) and is fabulous with our 10 month old son.  She is tender with him and lets him poke and prod her to death, practically. Since she has such a muscular build and is very energetic, sometimes her excitement can get the best of her though and she can take off across the room barely missing him.  However, she is easily calmed and we have never felt the need to keep Sadie and our son apart.  She loves him and recognizes the need to be gentle around him and has never, not even once, made us question whether or not he is safe with her.

Sadie gets along great with our two little dogs (4 and 7 lbs).  She has not had a lot of interaction with other dogs outside our home though.  On the few walks we have taken with her, she seems to get real excited when she sees another dog--but excited like she wants to play and "rough house" not attack or fight.  She does need some training and work on a leash and more exposure should help with that--we have just been incapable of giving that to her.



The best kind of home for Sadie would be one that has a lot of room for her to run--which ours does not.  If she had a large yard with space to roam and explore, she would be the happiest dog on earth. She enjoys being outside and working off her energy--but can also live inside (which she does now in the evenings, night, etc.).

Sadie will make some family a very happy family. She deserves the best but an element of that "best" is room and space. She's cramped in our home and that's not fair to her. This was a very hard decision for our family but we know it's what's best--and we have to honor her with that.

If you are interested in meeting Sadie please contact Meagan at mwells1474@gmail.com or 817-992-1677.
