Meet Sage This sweet 4/5 -year-old, 12-pound girl is ready to find her forever family in Chicago! With her stunning black-and-white coat and a happy little spirit to match, Sage is as charming as she is cuddly. Sage is a lap dog deluxe — if you’ve got a couch and a warm spot beside you, she’s there. She loves being close to her people and will happily spend hours curled up at your side. Bonus: she snores like a tiny person, and everyone who’s heard it agrees it’s pretty adorable. She has some impaired vision, but don’t let that fool you — Sage navigates the house like a pro, stairs included. She’s got her routines down and gets around just fine. Her ideal day? A little time outside sniffing around the garden, a sunny spot to stretch out in, and plenty of lap time with her person. Sage isn’t built for marathon walks or jogging partners — she takes life at a leisurely pace — but she’s a fantastic companion and a wonderful car rider. Road trips, errands, coffee shop patios? Count her in. She’s looking for: A calm, loving home where snuggles are currency and the pace matches hers. Whether you’re retired, work from home, or just appreciate a mellow sidekick, Sage will be your shadow and your softest friend.
