About Savage

Savage is a lovely German Shepherd mix, hoping for a forever home after being surrendered due to her family's medical challenges. At around two years old, she has a sweet, gentle demeanor that shines through once she warms up to you. Initially shy, she transforms into an affectionate companion eager to please. With her playful spirit, she adores children and can be quite the social butterfly with other dogs and cats, making her an ideal addition to a multi-pet household. This athletic girl loves to run and jump, so a secure fenced yard is a must for her happiness and safety. She’s also great off-leash with excellent recall, but her impressive jumping ability necessitates a safe enclosure. It's worth noting that she occasionally experiences urinary incontinence, so her future family should be prepared for that. Ready to open your heart and home?
