Meet Sadie, a six-pound force of nature wrapped in a tiny Chihuahua body. At 10 years old, she’s got life all figured out—she knows what she likes, what she definitely does not like, and she’s not afraid to let you know. Unlike the typical affectionate lap dog, Sadie prefers a life of independence, spending her days lounging like the queen she is.
Sadie is not one for social niceties. She has a strict “no visitors” policy, she has no patience for strangers and an even lower tolerance for being picked up or held. However, she does have a soft side—one that appears in the morning when she rubs her face on her blankies, a little ritual that makes her look downright adorable. If you ever hear her growl, you are in for a treat—it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
When it comes to other animals, Sadie plays by her own rules. She is fine with small, submissive dogs who know to give her space and will not try to snuggle with her. Cats? They are tolerable, as long as they do not overstep. But kids? Absolutely not. Sadie loves her adult-only home where her boundaries are respected and her feisty personality is appreciated.
Vet visits are an adventure of their own. Sadie requires anesthesia for routine exams and vaccinations—she may be small, but she is not afraid to put up a fight when necessary. Despite her tough exterior, those who take the time to understand and respect her quirks will find that Sadie is one-of-a-kind.
