About Sage Mae

Sage Mae is a sweet-natured senior gal originally from South Carolina, settling into Greenbelt, MD. She radiates friendliness and gets along with people—including kids—and other animals. Right now she shares her home with another dog, is happy to share toys, and never turns down a snuggle. At around 40 pounds and seven years old, Sage Mae craves attention and sticks close to her foster, especially if there’s a sofa spot up for grabs. She’s a country soul, a bit startled by loud noises, but adapts well as she settles in. A quick study, Sage Mae sits eagerly when her harness comes out and understands the "sit" command (treats always welcome). Despite being a hound mix, she almost never barks—just a single woof if dinner is running late. She could thrive in a family home with children 7+ since she sometimes jumps up with excitement, but that’s likely to fade with some more training. House trained and quiet indoors, Sage Mae is easy company whether she’s relaxing or gearing up for adventure. She has plenty of energy for her age, travels well in the car, and is up for a hike anytime. Ready to meet a forever snuggle buddy? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
