Story
Sky is an incredibly sweet and loving and energetic puppy. I acquired her for my son and I but I work nights and my room mate works days and I do not have the time to properly train and take care of her the way she deserves. I also have been informed by my land lord that no pets are allowed at the property. She is a very friendly and caring dog and deserves a home with the proper ability to take care of her.

Sadie

Mixed Breed (Large) Shar Pei

Female, Adult
LaVergne, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sadie is a 6-year-old, 85-pound improbable mix of German Shepherd and Shar Pei. This is a confirmed and not speculative breed mix. Go figure. Sadie is not the most attractive dog we have. I get this. This is the dog equivalent of what happens when you cross a supermodel and a rock star. Genetics when only one parent is leggy and gorgeous is sometimes less kind to the offspring and you end up with awkwardness. That's where we are here - tiny head with strange ears on a giant body with a little tail. When she runs, she kind of resembles a demented velociraptor and she is all awkward angles. I am sure you are reading this and are going to tell me how pretty she is and while I appreciate that and love her for what she is, this dog next to a golden retriever is going to get zero attention. It is an absolute fact that people are shallow and it's why weather forecasters on your news shows are always wearing skin-tight dresses and are not 55-year-old, size 18 women who are doing the actual forecasting. Sadie is a very good girl and she deserves a home. Sadie has done well in a home with other dogs, but she prefers they be mellow and not jump on her. She is not good with cats and she would eat them. Sadie is impeccably well-trained and she knows a lot of commands. She is housebroken and well-mannered and she is a charming dog one-on-one. She is also a powerful athlete that has more in common with her German Shepherd side of things and she loves her walks. She needs 20 minutes of hard running in a back yard daily and then she's happy. She is full of kisses and does not know a stranger as she loves all people. Given how strong this dog is, kids over 12 would be fine. This is a fantastic dog for the right home.
