Sadie

Sadie is a sweet and resilient 11-year-old girl with a wonderfully calm spirit. Having spent years without consistent comfort, she is now blossoming into a trusting companion with a predictable routine and gentle handling. She thrives on quiet company, soft beds, and a peaceful home environment, preferring companionship over busy days. Sadie is currently doing well with keeping her diaper dry and clean during the day, and is working on overnight progress.

As a Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier mix, Sadie embodies the affectionate and loyal traits of both breeds. These breeds are known for their adaptability to indoor living and their strong bonds with their families. Sadie's low energy level means she doesn't require extensive exercise, making her an ideal companion for those who appreciate a more relaxed pace of life. Her short coat, combined with her breed heritage, suggests she is a minimal shedder, though regular care for her tear ducts is important.

Sadie's ideal home is one that offers kindness, patience, and a secure, peaceful environment. She gets along well with calm dogs and would benefit from a family committed to her routine, especially regarding her vision loss and diaper use. A securely fenced area for slow, sniffy outdoor time would be perfect for her to explore safely. Sadie is ready to spend her golden years feeling cherished and safe with a loving family.
