Meet Sage: A True Gem ~2 yrs | 12 lbs | Maltese Mix | Non-Shed | Chula Vista CA Are you looking for a companion who is the perfect mix of brains, beauty, and personality? Meet Sage (also known affectionately as Pinky), who is a true gem. She has moved past the chaotic puppy stage but maintains a joyful, active enthusiasm for life. A Brainy Beauty Sage is incredibly smart and highly trainable. She mastered the dog door in just one day! She already knows how to sit and is currently working on stay and leave it. Because she is so eager to please and picks up on routines with confidence, she is a dream for anyone who enjoys a dog that listens and learns quickly. The Ultimate Social Butterfly If you want a dog you can take anywhere, Sage is your girl. She shows zero fear or hesitation when meeting new people of all ages or other dogs. Whether it is a busy park with screaming children or a quiet stroll through a store, Sage remains well-behaved and non-reactive. She does not lunge or growl; she is simply curious and friendly to everyone she meets. Active Days and Cozy Nights Sage has a wonderful, active energy level. She loves long walks—the longer, the better! She is excellent on a leash and enjoys being part of the action. When she isn't out exploring, she loves to sunbathe in the garden or hop on the sofa for an hour-long cuddle session. She has soft, silky fur that does not shed, making her the perfect snuggle buddy for movie nights. Home Life and Manners Sage is fully house trained and crate trained. She currently sleeps peacefully on a dog bed in her foster parents' room. While she is generally quiet, she may join in if other dogs are barking at the door, but she stops quickly when corrected. She is a very social creature and deeply loves her humans. Because she can get a little lonely when left entirely alone, she would thrive best in a home with another dog sibling or with a family that takes her along on their adventures. The Ideal Match Sage would be a good fit for an active family, a home with other dogs, or even a great apartment dweller as long as she gets her daily exercise. She is ready to bond quickly with her forever family. If you are looking for an easy-going, affectionate, and intelligent best friend, Sage is waiting to meet you.We are now accepting adoption applications for Sage at bichonrescuebrigade.org/adopt/adoption-form Sage is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.
