Story
Meet Sadie Smart. Curious. Already growing into her big-dog future Sadie was born September 2, 2025, and at just a few months old she is already reached 30 pounds, giving a very real preview of the strong, athletic large-breed dog she’s becoming. The first thing people notice about Sadie is her incredible ears—always alert, expressive, and impossible to miss. They perfectly match her curious, thoughtful personality. Sadie is a Great Dane–forward mix (Great Dane, Cane Corso, American Pit Bull Terrier, Siberian Husky/German Shepherd) and is expected to mature into a 60–80 lb adult. Sadie at a glance DOB: 9/2/2025 Current weight: ~30 lbs and growing Breed mix: Great Dane, Cane Corso, APBT, Husky/German Shepherd Expected adult size: Large (approx. 60–80 lbs) Energy: Puppy energy with a solid ability to settle Personality: Smart, curious, playful, sweet, and socially aware People: Friendly and appropriate with adults Children: Has met young children and did very well—curious, gentle, and respectful Dogs: Social and adaptable; reads cues well and adjusts play Cats: Untested Life with Sadie Sadie enjoys playtime, exploration, and learning new things—but she also knows how to rest. After activity, she settles nicely indoors and is comfortable relaxing on her own or in her crate. She’s already showing the kind of balance that experienced large-breed adopters value. She’s comfortable in a home environment, handles routine well, and continues to build confidence through normal puppy experiences. Training & manners Crate trained Nearly house-trained; goes to the door when she needs to potty (normal puppy supervision applies) Leash skills: Still learning, as expected; redirects well with a martingale collar or harness Car rides: Does well and settles on longer trips Cues she knows: sit, wait, no, off Working on: down, stay, and come Motivation: Enjoys treats and engagement; responds well to praise and interaction Social style Sadie approaches new people thoughtfully and politely. With other dogs, she shows good social awareness—matching energy and giving space when appropriate. She has done well meeting young children, showing curiosity and gentleness with appropriate supervision. She could thrive as an only dog or enjoy having canine companions. Sadie is being fostered in Anderson SC. If interested in adopting email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application. A fenced yard will be required so she has a safe place to run and romp and do all the puppy things! *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.***** December 24, 2025, 4:40 pm
