Sadie Mini Lab Bestie - Labrador Retriever and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Meet Sadie — the pocket-sized sunshine with the world’s cutest smile!

Sadie is a teeny-tiny ray of golden joy wrapped up in a tail wag and a cuddle. We think she might be a Lab/Terrier mix (our best rescue guess!), but what we know for sure is that she’s 100% sugar, snuggles, and smiles. Seriously — look at that face! She’s like a living, breathing serotonin boost.

Sadie is the definition of the perfect little companion. She’s small enough to scoop up for couch cuddles, yet big enough to bring a whole lot of love wherever she goes. She’s a professional lap-sitter, expert at movie-night snuggles, and has been known to curl into a little cinnamon roll shape when she naps.

In her foster home, Sadie’s been an absolute star! She lives with a bunch of other dogs and does amazing with them — she’s polite, playful, and even shares toys (what a saint!). She can be a little shy meeting new pups at first, but give her a few minutes and suddenly she’s in full-on zoomie mode, chasing tails and spreading joy. She’s also lived with kiddos and passed the “chaotic kid energy” test with flying colors — tolerant, patient, and gentle as can be.

Go see for yourself in her video!

Sadie also met a kitty friend during her cat test and did great! She was a little unsure at first (those mysterious feline creatures can be confusing, after all), but she kept things calm and respectful. With some time and a patient kitty roommate, she could absolutely learn to be friends.

Sadie’s also shown she could do really well in an apartment! She’s not much of a barker and is pretty easygoing. She walks beautifully on leash and loves little adventures — but she’s equally happy curled up inside watching the world go by from her favorite cozy blanket.

This smiley girl would thrive in a home that gives her love, patience, and maybe a few squeaky toys. She’d be happy with another friendly dog or even as your one-and-only cuddle bug.

Sadie is truly the total package — cute, cuddly, well-mannered, and endlessly sweet. If you’ve been looking for a tiny best friend who will make you laugh, snuggle you silly, and light up your life every single day, Sadie is your girl.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
