Sadie is a gentle sweetheart who has already overcome so much and is now ready for a forever family who will help her continue blossoming. She may be shy when meeting new people, but with patience, kindness, and consistency, she warms up beautifully — and once she feels safe, her playful, snuggly side shines.
Sadie’s New Mexico foster, who cared for her and her siblings for five months, shared just how far this sweet girl has come. When Sadie first arrived, she was absolutely terrified of the world around her. She spent her early days watching from afar, unsure who she could trust. But slowly, she began to open her heart.
After a week, she took a treat from her foster’s hand. Two weeks later, she accepted soft pets on her head. And now? She happily welcomes full-body pets and recently even curled up beside her foster on the couch, gently leaning in for comfort and connection. Sadie wants to trust — you can see her trying so hard to be brave.
Today, Sadie enjoys laying beside her person, soaking up affection, gently nibbling fingers to show love, and playing with toys or other friendly dogs. She’s incredibly smart and very aware of her surroundings — she even braved her vet visit with quiet courage.
Sadie is also growing more confident in her training. She’s food-motivated and making steady progress with crate training, potty training, and leash walking. Sudden loud noises can startle her on walks, but she improves a little more each day as she learns that the world isn’t so scary.
Sadie will thrive in a calm, patient home with someone who understands shy dogs and celebrates the small victories. She would love a confident dog sibling who can help guide her, offer reassurance, and show her the ropes. Her start to life wasn’t harmful — she and her siblings were simply born to a stray mama who tried her best — but because of that, Sadie needs gentle encouragement and time to feel secure.
If you’re looking for a tender, soulful companion to nurture, support, and watch bloom, Sadie may be your perfect match. She truly wants to love and be loved — she’s just waiting for the person who sees not her fears, but her beautiful potential.
