Female | 6 pounds | 6 years old | Low energy | Limited exposure to kids | Previously lived with cats | Coexists with a dog | From Ontario | Fostered in Fergus | Affectionate & sweet
She’s a gal who would spend all day with you if she could. Meet SADIE! At 6 years old, SADIE is affectionate with her trusted humans, a great little walker, and a big fan of basking in the sunshine. She’s been living in Fergus, and with every new day, her confidence is growing with the support of her foster family. We love to see her slowly but surely becoming more adventurous!
As her foster family’s first foster experience, we hear that not only have things gone largely as expected but that it’s been a rewarding experience! They’ve found implementing boundaries to be straightforward, and overall, this gal looks to her people for guidance.
While SADIE is both affectionate and sweet, she can also be hesitant. You’ll see her nerves show up when meeting new people, but she’s a curious gal and always up for saying hello regardless. A calm, quieter home environment is likely one that would suit her best as she continues to learn that her humans will set her up for success in each new scenario. Similarly, a home with dog-savvy kiddos, if any, would be best! Advocating for her space is what she needs, though know that she was happy to accept pats from a younger child recently.
A routine that has worked well for SADIE includes both structured activities and plenty of love and affection! She’s been enjoying a short walk in the morning and is building up to longer afternoon walks. Out on those walks she appears interested in other dogs, though she’s typically indifferent to the dog she’s currently living with. Living with a lower-energy dog might be more her speed!
