Sadie is a resilient little dog with a big heart, ready for a fresh start after enduring a rough beginning. She came into rescue severely underweight at just 5 pounds, battling an aggressive flea infestation, and fearful of trusting people. Despite her skittish nature, Sadie has shown remarkable progress in her foster home. She gets along well with cats and small dogs and is learning the basics of potty training. While she loves playing in a securely fenced yard—even in chilly weather—she remains wary of being held or snuggled unless she feels safe. Her past, including being confined to a bathroom for months with little human interaction, has left her anxious in rooms with closed doors. Sadie thrives in her kennel, finding comfort and security there, and has excellent kennel manners. She needs a calm, patient home with adults or children over 12 who can respect her boundaries and give her the time and love she needs to build trust. Sadie is ready to find a family who will help her learn that love and safety are here to stay.
