Her Story
Sadie and her best friend Rae Rae lost everything when their owner passed away. The people who were supposed to care for them instead abandoned them at one of Atlanta's most overcrowded shelters. Two senior girls, terrified and confused, clinging to each other as their world collapsed.

We couldn't leave them there — so we didn't.
Now safe in foster care, Sadie is slowly remembering what it feels like to be loved again.

Who She Is
Sadie is a gentle, affectionate terrier mix with a soft heart and a sensitive soul. She's sweet, loving, and sometimes a little needy — and honestly, after everything she's been through, she deserves to be. She's also great with both dogs and cats — a gentle, easygoing senior girl who gets along with everyone.

Here are a few of her favorite things:
Snacks — her preferred love language, currency, and guiding star
Warm laps — her royal chaise lounge, reserved exclusively for queens
Quiet, cozy spaces — the enchanted nooks where she recharges her sparkle
Becoming your shadow once she feels safe — a Velcro sprite with seniorsweet devotion
Napping through entire TV seasons — a tiny dreampowered bingewatching wizard

She's a pocketsized terrier mix with big feelings, a bigger heart, and just a hint of whimsical seniorgirl magic.

Her Perfect Home
A calm, peaceful home where she can spend her golden years doing what she does best: snacking, snoozing, and soaking up love. She'd thrive with someone who wants a loyal shadow and a builtin cuddle buddy.
