About Sage

Sage is a 2 1/2-year-old French Bulldog who overcame paralysis in her hind legs after a difficult start. Surgery helped her regain mobility, and she’s now happily walking, with full control again, in a foster home. Sage does well with the resident dogs and cat and is both housebroken and crate-trained. She’s made huge strides, but her adopters will need to help protect her back—no rough jumps off furniture, excessive stairs, or extra weight gain. Other than that, Sage is back to her cheerful, healthy self and eager for a family that can give her a stable, loving home. She’s meeting visitors by appointment only. What are you waiting for?
