About Sage

Meet Sage! This spirited five-year-old mix of German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and American Pitbull Terrier is currently living in Amherst, MA. Sage embodies a perfect blend of intelligence, affection, and playful charm with her tan coat, accented by white and striking dark facial markings. At 44 pounds, Sage is a loyal medium-sized companion who thrives on connection and adventure. She’s an excellent communicator, whether she’s signaling for a walk, a tummy rub, or mealtime. Her intelligence shows, as she has mastered commands like sit, down, and up, eager to impress with her skills. Sage enjoys sniff-filled strolls, playful bone-hiding games, and cozy moments with her humans. Sage is house-trained, non-destructive, and stays calm when left alone, although she does experience mild separation anxiety and prefers companionship. She adores young children, bringing her gentle and affectionate nature to their play. When it comes to other dogs, Sage is selective. While she has made friends at doggy daycare, she may have scuffles, particularly with energetic dogs while on a leash. A calm and knowledgeable guardian would help her thrive, or she’d do wonderfully as the only dog in a household. No cats, please! With her delightful personality and expressive eyes, Sage is ready to fill a home with love and laughter. A fenced yard and lots of family time would suit her perfectly. As an added bonus, a month of professional behavioral support is included to help Sage transition to her new home smoothly. Could your heart be the perfect match for Sage?
