Sadie needs a good home. After several attempts of us trying to accommodate for her to stay with us, we have no other options. She needs to be in a home with NO farm animals(or atleast to where she can't get to them). Other dogs would be fine as long as it's a bigger dog because when she plays she likes to jump and she's a big girl(our older dog is smaller & it's too much for her & Sadie is persistent to play with her).
Sadie is a climber, she has climbed in & out of our front fence and also climbs out of the 5.5ft tall outdoor kennel we bought to keep her in while we aren't home. She would do great as an indoor/go for walks on a leash only home or if you have enough land, she would stay right by your side without running off. She LOVES attention & affection once she knows you. She is great with our kids and loves to play. She is scared of strangers at first(not aggressive), but once she has a few minutes to get to know you, she will want to sit in your lap or beside you. She has been scared around strangers & in new environments since we adopted her at 11 weeks old & we aren't sure why. Sadie is 6.5 months old, anatolian shepherd mix, spayed, up to date on shots & monthly flea/tick and HW prevention meds. She is crate trained-sleeps in there all night & is also house trained. She has toys, a leash, collar, harness and large crate that will go with her. Reach out to me if you would like to give Sadie a good home or if your interested & would like to meet her first. I just want her to go to someone that will take care of her & spoil her. She's a great pup & you'll fall in love with her.
