Sadie is one of several dogs who came to Lollypop Farm together and is now looking for a perfect home to start her next chapter in life. In fact, we're pretty sure she's crossing her paws that home might be yours.

For Sadie the world and everything in it is still brand new and sometimes even a bit overwhelming. That includes new people, so be prepared to go slow, let her set the pace, and be waiting with soft praise and tasty treats to reward every step. The old saying that good things come to those who wait is true when it comes to Sadie. When she finally offers you her love and trust, and welcomes - even asks for - your touch, you're going to feel on top of the world.

We think Sadie will do best in a quieter home with either adults only or older children who are able to let her settle in without the enthusiastic attention younger children are generally eager to show a new pet. A fenced yard would be great, giving her a safe space to hang out with the family and take everything in, joining the fun when she's ready.

In her previous home Sadie lived with lots of other dogs and felt very comfortable with them. In fact, if you already have a dog at home that's a big plus, because a canine companion will be a good confidence builder. Your counselor can give you guidance on how to introduce them. Once they become comfortable together, your dog will help Sadie get used to her new home and family, and even help her learn the simple pleasure of walking on a leash by demonstrating how it's done and why it's fun.

There were no cats in Sadie's previous home, but her housemates who've gone to their new homes have done well with their new cat siblings. If you have a cat or several, your counselor can give you great tips for handling inter-species intros once you're home.
