Sadie

My story

Sadie is an 8 year old German Shepard female. She is spayed & up to date on vaccinations. We adopted her from WHS just over a year ago. She did not have good owners in the past & I think that is majority of the reason for her poor training & behavioral problems. Unfortunately, she is very reactive to other dogs and cats. She is not aggressive but she tries to show her dominance and often will try to nip. She is not good on a leash, she pulls really hard & doesn’t respond well to verbal and physical commands. My grandparents adopted her & she seemed to be responding to training but then started backtracking again. They are older & are not stronger with her on a leash. They don’t have a fenced in yard either. My fiancé & I have been trying to train her and walk her, but we just don’t have the time with our jobs & often working doubles to train her the way she needs. She would strive with a large yard, & no other animals. I’m not sure how she is around children. We love her so this hurts.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sadie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
