SADIE - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400. This is Sadie and she is the most incredible girl! In early June, she was found abandoned and alone in the mountains of eastern KY. She had clearly just given birth to puppies, but they were nowhere to be found. Luckily, someone brought her to safety and she found a temporary foster home. She got her freedom ride to Chicago on August 9 and she has been enjoying the good life ever since! She has shown me how resilient dogs can be and while life has not always been fair to her, she has the purest heart. She is happy ALL of the time. She wags her tail when she’s eating, she wags her tail when she’s drinking and she wags her tail the moment she wakes up in the morning. It is impossible to be in a bad mood around her. She is housebroken, crate trained and is quickly learning to walk on a leash in a bustling urban environment. She has never met a stranger and she looks hopefully at every human we pass, hoping they will give her a pat, a pet, a belly rub or kiss. She leans into you as if you are the most important person in her life. She will often sit next to me on the couch and lay her head on my shoulder, with her paw on my leg, almost like she is a little human. She is so gentle when she takes a treat from my hand and she is so quiet; I haven’t even heard her little voice yet! She is excited to meet other dogs and she has been tender with the kids she’s met on walks as well. She is a mixed breed, weighs 41 pounds and is estimated to be 3 years old. She will thrive with a family and would love a fenced in yard where she can play, roll in the grass and bask in the sunshine. This foster Mom is so excited to find her the home of her dreams If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application .
