About Sadie

Adoption Fee: $350
Australian Cattle Dog
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

Sadie is fostered in Venice, FL (Sarasota County). We are a foster-based rescue and always looking for foster families. Sadie is a bundle of energy! She loves to run around and play with her foster siblings, a cat and a dog. She does like to chase the cat around the house, but never hurts her. She's fully content playing by herself - she tosses her rope around or gnaws on her antlers. She loves to run and a fenced yard would be ideal for her. Sadie knows a couple commands like 'sit' and 'go to bed.' Her foster family is still working on 'stay' and 'come.' When she arrived she had a complete stray mentality. She did not know how to be a house dog. She is finally starting to understand how to live in a home and has made amazing progress. She has learned not to chase cars and bark incessantly. She no longer jumps on the furniture, although she does want to be in your lap and will 'jump up to you' with her front paws. She gets excited about her food, but no longer fears it disappearing. She is incredibly sweet; love- and treat-oriented. She is a typical young heeler and wants to nibble on you from time to time, but it is as soft as can be. At the end of the day she loves to snuggle up like a baby. Sadie doesn't mind being in her crate. She needs a little more training walking on lead, but burning some energy playing prior to a walk greatly improves her on-leash behavior. She loves playing with other dogs but is slightly leery of new men. She adjusts and becomes comfortable quickly. Although she's not a fan of her baths and nail clippings, she'll let you do it. She'll even let her foster mom brush her teeth, after biting on the toothbrush! Sadie loves being loved. Watching her little nubby tail go as fast as it can is a sight to see, and she will make an active home a wonderful pet or performance dog. Sadie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and preventives, microchipped and heartworm-free.
