Sadie Mae - Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Cumming, Georgia

Meet Sadie Mae — Georgia’s Most Popular Girl!

Age: 2 years old
Weight: 75 pounds
Breed: Anatolian Shepherd
Dog Friendly: Yes — big and small!

Meet Sadie Mae, a gorgeous 2-year-old Anatolian Shepherd with a huge heart, a loyal soul, and a personality that has made her one of the most loved girls around.

Sadie Mae has been waiting for her forever family since she was a puppy. She’s grown up waiting for someone to finally choose her — and after all this time, we think this beautiful girl deserves exactly the kind of home she’s been dreaming about.

Sadie Mae is incredibly loving and devoted to her people. She’s also a natural protector. She likes knowing where her family is, keeping an eye on the house and property, and making sure everybody — two-legged and four-legged — is safe.

And don’t let her 75 pounds fool you. Sadie Mae has a wonderfully gentle side, especially with other dogs. She does great with dogs both big and small and currently helps watch over the little dogs around her. One of her very best friends is Anastasia, and the two absolutely love playing together.

When she’s off duty from protecting everybody, Sadie Mae loves being outside, playing in the yard and going for long walks. But when the day is over, this big Anatolian has somewhere very specific she wants to be:

With her people.

Sadie Mae is a couch dog.
Sadie Mae is a bed dog.
And yes — all 75 pounds of Sadie Mae would very much like to sleep with you.

For Sadie, being allowed on the furniture and sleeping with her family isn’t something we want her to lose when she’s adopted. We are looking for a home where dogs are truly part of the family — couches, beds, snuggles and all. If your house has a strict “no dogs on the furniture” rule, Sadie Mae won’t be the right match.

She has waited too long for her forever home to finally get one where she isn’t allowed to do the things that make her feel happiest and closest to her people.

Sadie Mae is loving, loyal, playful, dog-friendly and naturally protective. She can spend the afternoon playing with her canine friends, keep an eye on everyone she loves, and then climb into bed at night like the world’s largest teddy bear.

She’s a protector when you need one, a best friend when you need one, and a bed hog whether you need one or not.

Sadie Mae has spent most of her young life waiting.

She’s made friends. She’s protected the dogs around her. She’s won the hearts of the people who know her. She’s been loved and cared for while she waits.

But she still hasn’t gotten the one thing that every dog deserves:

Her own forever family.

We don’t want Sadie Mae to simply find a home.

We want her to find her home — the one where she is loved for exactly who she is. A home where this big girl can watch over her family during the day, curl up beside them on the couch at night, and climb into bed knowing that tomorrow morning she’ll wake up in the very same place.

No more waiting. No more wondering when it will finally be her turn.

Just Sadie Mae, her people, her dog friends, her couch, her bed — and the rest of her life exactly where she belongs.

Could you be the family she’s been waiting for?

The Anatolian Shepherd is a large and powerful ancient breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Originating in Turkey, these dogs were bred to guard livestock from predators, showcasing their strong natural instincts. Anatolian Shepherds have a distinctive short double coat that comes in various colors, with a black mask common on their faces. They require early socialization and consistent training to manage their independent yet devoted temperament effectively.
