Sadie - Pit Bull Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in West Peoria, Illinois

Hi. My name is Sadie. I came to Grafelman Farms from a rescue in Southern Illinois. I'm a shy girl at 13 weeks old. I am a beautiful blue brindle pitty mix and should be 45-55 pounds when grown. I like to be glued to my foster mom. I play like a big dog with my foster brother. I'm learning to potty outside. I keep a clean kennel and sleep in there throughout the day and at night. I will show you my enthusiasm and dance and speak for my dinner. I took my first car ride the other day. It was a bit scary. I cried and howled and my mom howled too, so I figured it must be ok. I laid down and was fine after that, the ride home I was quiet and content. I am a toy hog, and I like to take all of the toys out of the toy box and take them straight to my bed. Then I will bark at my foster brother letting him know they are all mine. If he takes one from me, I will wait for him to look away and steal it back. I like chew toys best. I am interested in my foster mom's cat, but I cannot understand why he bats my nose. He doesn't want to play with me, but I am still curious. My leash manners need improvement but I'm trying. Overall, my foster mom says I am a good girl and very lovable!

Sadie is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and is on flea and heartworm preventions. Her adoption fee is $300, please apply at gfrpets.org/apply.
