sadie

My name is Sadie and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m a playful, friendly, happy 12 y.o. girl and this is my second time being rescued by SIRA. Many years ago, after I was released from a commercial breeding facility, SIRA placed me in a home where I had a mom who helped me learn to love living in home and how to be a dog. We were happy for a long time, but then mom got sick and could no longer take care of me. So I came back to SIRA and to my foster home in Sussex, WI. I’m a good girl – I get along fine with other dogs and cats and I’m fine with kids too. I enjoy going for short walks and am a good girl in the house – potty trained and not destructive. When my foster family goes out, I am happy to nap until they come back home. When I first got to my foster home, I had some issues that needed addressing. I had a couple of lumps that the vet removed – thankfully they were both benign. I was very overweight! I’ve lost 12 lbs (currently 37 lbs) since then and I feel much better and am able to be more active. I take pain meds for my joints and I have allergies, which are managed with prescription food and some meds for seasonal flare-ups. Otherwise, my needs are pretty simple: my favorite things are nice places to nap, popcorn, a few toys to play with and when my family comes home after being out. I’m not too fond of slippery wood/tile floors, but honestly, that’s my only beef. I’d love a forever family that will help me continue to lose weight and manage my allergies so I can live my best life.
