Story
# Meet Sadie 💜
Some dogs fill your house with chaos. Sadie fills it with peace.
At around 8 years old and 60 pounds, this sweet hound spent much of her life chained outside after being considered a "failed" hunting dog. But the people who gave up on her couldn't have been more wrong. Sadie isn't a failure, she's simply too gentle for the job they wanted her to do.
Despite everything she's been through, Sadie has the kindest heart. She's calm, easygoing, and simply enjoys being near her people or another dog. She isn't the type to constantly climb in your lap, but she's happiest knowing she's part of the family. She's also perfectly content entertaining herself or snoozing on a comfy bed. Like many hounds, she has a little independent streak and can be wonderfully aloof at times. What she lacks in command training (typical hound) she make up for with personality and overall just being a "Good Girl". She is crate trained and has learned surprisingly good recall despite what hounds are known for (as long as it involves a treat).
Her favorite part of every day? Dinner time. She'll never let you forget it's time to eat, greeting you with her adorable little tap dance and happy hound song that never fails to make us smile.
Sadie isn't a high-energy dog. A couple leisurely strolls around the yard, following every interesting scent with that wonderful hound nose of hers, and she's a happy girl. The rest of the day is usually spent relaxing, watching the world go by, or quietly keeping you company.
One of our favorite things about Sadie is the way her tail starts wagging every single time you walk into the room. It's such a simple thing, but somehow it makes every day just a little bit better.
Sadie gets along beautifully with other dogs, is potty trained, and has wonderful house manners. At the veterinary office she's shown little interest in cats, though she hasn't lived with one, so a slow introduction would be recommended.
Sadie completed treatment for advanced heartworm disease and came through it with incredible grace and resilience. As a result of the damage the heartworms caused before she was rescued, she'll likely need daily heart medication for the rest of her life. The good news is that her veterinarian expects her to have a normal life expectancy, and she doesn't let her heart condition slow her down one bit.
Sadie is wonderfully low maintenance. She doesn't ask for much, just a soft place to sleep, breakfast and dinner served on time, a few chances to sniff around the yard, and someone to love her for the incredible dog she is.
If you're looking for a calm, loyal companion who will quietly make every day a little brighter, Sadie just might be your perfect match.
