About Sage

Meet Sage! A spirited five-year-old mixed breed, Sage is a delightful blend of German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and American Pitbull Terrier, currently living in Amherst, MA. With her tan coat adorned with white accents and striking dark facial markings, she exudes a charming mix of intelligence and playful energy. At 44 pounds, she’s a loyal medium-sized companion who thrives on connection and adventure. Sage’s communication skills are top-notch. Whether it’s time for a walk, a well-deserved tummy rub, or mealtime, she expresses herself with a heart-melting charm. She has already mastered commands like sit, down, and up, and she loves to show off her skills for a treat or a smile. Her happiest days are filled with sniff-filled strolls, playful bone-hiding missions, and cozy snuggles with her loved ones. This sweet girl is house-trained, non-destructive, and generally calm when left alone, though she prefers company due to mild separation anxiety. Sage truly lights up around young children, showcasing a gentle nature that makes her an excellent playmate. While she enjoys doggy daycare, Sage can be selective with her canine companions, tending to mirror the energy of other dogs, which has led to a few leash-related scuffles in the past. She would thrive best with a calm, dog-savvy owner who can navigate these interactions wisely or in a home where she’s the only dog, soaking up all the affection. Cats are not her thing, so a feline-free home is essential. With her expressive eyes and joyful spirit, Sage is ready to bring laughter and love into a new family’s life. She'd thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can spend quality time with her people. Plus, a month of professional behavioral support is included to help her transition smoothly.
