Sadie ~ Pending! - Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

elieve Sadie to be a young (around 2 years old) lab mix. We where made aware of her thru our KY rescue partner when someone was giving the whole family away for free on an internet site. It seems pretty clear that Sadie was someone's pet at one time and they put a good deal of time into training her. She is completely house trained and will whine at the door when she has to go out. Sadie will even sit while you secure her leash. We have discovered she knows basic commands like sit, paw, & lay down. Her leash manners are not to bad. We use a freedom harness to eliminate some pulling. She really only pulls when she smells deer or rabbits in the vicinity. We have been working on the command "wait" when this happens and she has been responding really well. Sadie loves to go on long walks, she enjoys the fresh air and all of nature's surroundings. She is not a super sniffer during a walk unless she is on the trail of something. I often think she would excel at nose work, or would make an excellent tracker. Most times on our walks she leads the way and finds our way back home thru the many paths we have taken. Sadie is a real people person as well. She loves absolutely everyone she meets. It's very common for her to approach everyone we meet on our outings. At our first adoption event, Sadie met a baby in a carrier and very politely sniffed the top of the babies head. She loves people so much she is not shy about showing it. Many times she will give her foster mom a very gentle hug. Sadie has proven to do well with other dogs but we believe she would be perfectly fine being the center of someone's universe as well. We have not had her cat tested up to this point but can certainly do so if the need arises. She does perfectly fine in the house when left unattended and has not once attempted to jump up on the couch but will lay on the floor next to you. Since Sadie has been such an outstanding mom ~ and has taken her time letting go of that role, it has delayed the process of getting her spayed which will need to be done before she can move on to her fur-ever home (scheduled for 5/8). We are accepting applications and holding meet in greets with Sadie at our weekly adoption events.
