About Sage

Sage has spent seven long years waiting for a forever home. Once a pregnant dog in need of help, she raised her puppies in our care and watched them find homes, all while remaining behind. Sage has bounced between shelters, staff homes, and temporary placements, never having a place truly her own. She fills each day with goofiness and charm, believing wholeheartedly that she's still a young dog—until playtime turns into a nap marathon. Sage's playful spirit shines through, but she also adores her downtime and is an expert cuddler. While she can be cautious around new people, a handful of tasty treats usually wins her trust. Sage does best as the only dog in the home; she has coexisted peacefully with cats but prefers not to share her space with other dogs. Sage needs a loving person who appreciates a perfectly imperfect companion. After seven years of giving her heart to others, it’s time for Sage to experience true love in a permanent home of her very own. Ready to end her long wait? Adoption is $275 and includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, and a clean bill of health. While Sage is housetrained, remember that some dogs may need a little time to adjust in a new environment. Let's make her next chapter a happy one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
