About Sage

Sage is here to brighten your days! Fresh from her journey from Georgia, this spunky 5-month-old Shepherd mix weighs in at a charming 27 pounds. She's spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations, and ready to find her forever home. Don’t let her puppy status fool you—Sage already shows remarkable manners that will make her a fantastic companion. She's doing well with potty training and follows a consistent outdoor schedule. Sage is also crate trained; she sleeps soundly through the night and remains calm while her people are out, with no crate accidents to report. She walks beautifully on a leash and even waits patiently by the door for a paw wipe after outdoor adventures. This girl is eager to learn and has quickly mastered 'sit,' comes when called, and listens well. Sage enjoys chewing on her designated bones and toys, making her an easy-going housemate. Not only is she friendly with other dogs, but she also has a knack for professional kissing, snuggling, and napping the minute a car ride begins. While we’re still learning about her interactions with cats and kids, her foster describes her as calm and friendly—an overall sweetheart. If you’re seeking a loyal sidekick for walks and cuddle sessions, Sage might just be the perfect match for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
