Sadie

My story

This female Bulgarian Shepherd (best guess) is approximately 2 years old, weighs 75 lbs, and is spayed. She is fully house-trained and demonstrates good leash manners during walks. She enjoys spending time outdoors and particularly thrives in colder weather, showing a strong preference for being outside in the snow. A fenced yard with room for her to run and do her dances would be lovely. We have not had an opportunity to see how she reacts to car rides. As a herding breed, she is intelligent, alert, and naturally driven. Due to these herding instincts, she is not recommended for placement in a home with young children. She would be best suited for an experienced, active adopter who understands working or shepherd-type breeds and can provide appropriate structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. Sadie would do well in a home that values outdoor activity and can meet the needs of a confident, capable companion. She is good with the the three dogs in the foster home with her but Sadie seems to prefer dogs that are also confident and on the bigger side. She plays well with the small dogs but she does not seem to understand the size difference. Sadie sleeps in her bed in the back hallway at night and is left roam the main area of the house when everybody is out. She has learned to walk on the ceramic floors but she is still afraid to walk on the laminate so area rugs or runners will be needed if your floors are slippery. Sadie is a fun, loyal, well behaved girl who deserved to have that person who will devote themselves to giving her the love and structure she wants.March 9, 2026, 8:36 am
