My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Her Turn to Be Cherished

Mama Sadie is a brave, devoted dog who looks like a Cattle Dog and Shepherd mix, and she has already given so much of herself. After being abandoned on the side of the road, she faced the world alone—but she stayed strong for her babies, keeping them safe, feeding them, and protecting them with everything she had. A kind Good Samaritan rescued her and her puppies and brought them to a shelter, and they were quickly transferred to us. A wonderful foster cared for her and her pups, making sure they had safety, warmth, and love while they grew.

Now Mama Sadie’s babies are ready to step into the world, and it’s finally her turn. It’s her turn to rest, to be cared for, to feel what it’s like to have someone gently worry over her, brush her fur, and quietly say, “You’re safe now. You are loved.” She has carried the weight of fear and survival for so long—now she deserves a home where she can simply breathe, be seen, and be cherished for exactly who she is.
