Meet Sadie – Your Gentle, Loving Velcro Girl
Sadie is a gentle, sensitive soul who is still learning that the world is a safe and loving place. This beautiful big girl may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, she will completely melt your heart.
When meeting new people, Sadie can be unsure and may bark or growl to express her nervousness—but she has shown no aggression. With a little patience and reassurance, she settles in quickly and reveals her true nature: a sweet, affectionate companion who just wants to be close to her person.
Sadie is incredibly human-oriented and will happily follow you from room to room. Once you’ve earned her trust, she looks to you for comfort and guidance—and she’ll thank you with the sweetest little face kisses
Because of her size, Sadie may accidentally bump into smaller children, but she truly enjoys being around kids. She’s also met a cat and did great—what a good girl!
She is still building confidence and can be startled by loud noises, sudden movements, or unfamiliar situations. She’s making progress every day, but she’ll need a patient adopter who will continue helping her grow at her own pace. She’s especially nervous at the vet and may need medication for visits until she feels more secure.
Sadie is crate trained and does well during a full workday, but she would thrive most in a home where someone is around more often. She would also benefit greatly from obedience training—not just to learn commands, but to strengthen her bond and build confidence.
Sadie is looking for a calm, patient, and understanding family who will take things slow and let her blossom on her own timeline. Her perfect family will be one with children that has giant breed experience and be committeed to continued socialization and training. A confident dog sibling would be wonderful, but not required.
Sadie isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for someone who will believe in her, guide her, and celebrate every little milestone along the way. In return, you’ll get a loyal, loving companion who will stick by your side through it all
If you’re ready to help Sadie build her confidence and become the amazing dog she’s meant to be, she’s ready to meet you
