SADIE - GOLDEN RETRIEVER (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Golden Retriever (medium coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Sadie is everything people love about Golden Retrievers — happy, social, goofy, and absolutely full of love. This young girl adores people, makes friends everywhere she goes, and approaches life with an enthusiastic tail wag and a toy in her mouth. Whether she’s heading to the dog park, hopping in the car for an adventure, or tossing around her favorite squeaky toy, Sadie is simply thrilled to be part of the fun. Her ideal home would have lots of space, she can kind of be a bull in a china shop! She is not well suited for an apartment, condo or townhome. Sadie came to rescue after her previous family made the difficult decision to surrender her. They loved her deeply, but without consistent training and structure, her puppy habits — especially jumping, mouthing, and slipping away when given the chance — became more than they could safely manage. Sadie is still young, smart, and very trainable, and the good news is she’s incredibly food motivated and eager to engage with people, which will make continued training much easier. She is potty trained and does wonderfully with kids, other dogs, cats, and even chickens. She absolutely loves meeting new people and would happily greet every stranger like an old friend if given the chance. Sadie has a moderate energy level and will thrive in a home that gives her regular exercise, continued guidance, and plenty of mental stimulation. She especially loves cooler weather and being outdoors, thanks to her big fluffy golden coat. Sadie already knows commands like sit, stay, and “go potty,” and she rides beautifully in the car. She’s affectionate, playful, intelligent, and wonderfully goofy — the kind of dog who keeps you laughing while also wanting to curl up nearby at the end of the day. Because Sadie has a history of trying to wander, she will need a family committed to supervision, consistency, and safe management while she continues working on her manners and recall skills. In return, she’ll reward them with endless love, loyalty, and golden retriever charm. In addition she will need a family committed to continuing professional training. Sadie is truly a wonderful dog with so much potential, and with a little continued training and structure, she’s going to make an incredible companion for a very lucky family. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
