About Sadie
Meet Sadie! A loyal and playful almost three-year-old Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix currently in Burbank, CA, whose expressive eyes and joyful zoomies are just the beginning of her charm. Wrapped in a gorgeous gray and tan coat, Sadie is a spirited adventurer at heart! An ideal sidekick for anyone who loves walks, hikes, and of course, fetch (her all-time favorite game!). This athletic girl is not just all energy and fun, she's also a gentle soul who forms deep bonds with her humans once she's had a proper introduction. Sadie takes stranger introductions seriously, but once you're in her circle, get ready for a loyal companion who greets you with a wagging tail and her signature grin! Crate trained, house-trained, and incredibly food motivated, Sadie thrives on a structured routine. She eats twice a day, enjoys lounging on the couch or in her crate, and looks forward to her daily walk, as long as it's paired with a few solid rounds of fetch. Rainy days might cause a slip in her potty routine, but overall, she does beautifully with consistency and care. Though she's lived with other dogs, Sadie is selective and needs to be the only pet in her next home. She has been involved in altercations with other dogs when introductions were rushed or not managed carefully. She can be unsure around highly playful or reactive dogs, and she's still learning the art of dog play. While she's not reactive on leash or through fences, her new pet parent will need to continue supporting her social development with patience and positive reinforcement. Her heart, however, is wide open to her people (especially women) and she's done wonderfully around children ages 3 to 9 in a former foster setting! Smart, responsive, and eager to please, Sadie knows basic commands like “sit,” walks like a pro on leash, and is always up for new adventures with her trusted humans. While she may need a little patience when meeting new people, tossing her a toy or offering a treat is the perfect way to win her over! Could you be the steady, loving companion Sadie needs to keep her world full of fetch games, soft beds, and new adventures? If you're interested in providing Sadie with a loving home, please email meetme@joyfulpets.com for more information about adopting her! Please note that Sadie is currently in foster care through one of our trusted rescue partners and will remain with her foster family until the right match is found. Because rescue-partner pets are managed directly by their respective organizations, their adoption process, requirements, and fees may differ from Joyful Pets' direct rehoming program. Our team will be happy to connect you with the rescue and help guide you through their process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
