Sadie - Pointer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Sadie! Sadie is a 4-month-old, 20-pound Pointer mix puppy with a big personality, a playful spirit, and an even bigger heart!

When Sadie first arrived, she was a shy girl who needed a little time to feel safe. But she's making HUGE strides every day! She's become so comfortable with her foster family, and now she greets us with her tail wagging so hard that her whole body wiggles!

True to her Pointer nature, Sadie loves to run, jump, chase, and play. Balls and animal plush toys are among her favorites, and she's always happy to settle in with a good bone or bully stick. But don't let all that puppy energy fool you-Sadie is also a world-class cuddler! She'll happily leap right into your lap for snuggles or bring her favorite chew over to enjoy while relaxing at your feet.

Sadie has been wonderful with the kids in her foster home and loves playing with them. She's also dog-friendly! She's been doing fantastic with her house manners and hasn't had a single accident in her foster home. She also sleeps quietly through the night in her crate. She may fuss for a few minutes when first settling in, but then she quiets down and sleeps peacefully until morning!

Sadie is still learning about the big, exciting world around her and can be a little nervous in new places at first, but she's doing great with gentle exposure and encouragement. And if she hears an unfamiliar sound, you might catch her doing her classic Pointer move: freezing in place and standing perfectly still while she investigates what she's hearing. It's pretty adorable!

Sadie will thrive with a family who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to help her continue blossoming. In return, you'll get a fun, affectionate, playful puppy who will keep you laughing, join you for adventures, and then curl up in your lap when it's time to unwind.

Sadie is learning to be brave, one day at a time, and she's ready to find a family who will love her every step of the way. Could that be you?

Sadie is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. Her adoption fee is $575.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pointer is a versatile and athletic dog breed known for its exceptional hunting skills and high energy levels. With a strong, sleek build and keen sense of smell, Pointers excel in bird hunting, especially in open fields. They are intelligent, eager to please, and make fantastic companions for active individuals or families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and their friendly nature and loyal temperament make them beloved members of the family.

VISION To help rescue more animals, more quickly, by working in a positive, professional and collaborative way with our community....
