Story
SADIE was adopted from us as a pup and, sadly, needs to find a “retirement” home as their living arrangements are changing and Sadie will not be able to accompany them.   Sadie is now almost a 7 year old Bernese Mountain Dog (DOB 4/29/2019)  she is located in NJ so you must travel for the first meet and greet. Here is a writeup from her current family:   Below are key notes on Sadie: - She is a very loving and sweet dog once she is comfortable in her surroundings. - It became apparent to us shortly after adopting her in 2019 that she had a real fear/anxiety problem.  We took her to a behaviorist who diagnosed her with 'World Fear', which is common in Berners and basically means she's prone to fear.  We do have prescription medicine to treat this (BusPirone and Gabapentin) that we give her twice daily. - If she is rehomed through CompAnimals, we would suggest a house that does not have kids.  Because of the above World Fear, she becomes very fearful of sudden changes in her environment (i.e. kids running around, balls/toys moving around).  She's not aggressive in these situations and chooses to run away to another room or hide. - We would recommend a home that has some experience with dogs and is willing to be patient with her fear.  While we found the right medicine for her, I do believe she will be anxious and/or fearful of a new home for the first couple of weeks.  After she's comfortable, she will be the big sweetheart Berner she is.   We would love a home with Bernese or similar breed experience. There will be a rehoming/adoption fee of $150. Her parents have done a wonderful job with her vetting and excellent vet reference is a must. Home visit required. Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org if you are interested in adding Sadie to your family!  February 2, 2026, 12:13 pm
