About Sage

Meet Sage! This spirited five-year-old mix of German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and American Pitbull Terrier brings a delightful blend of intelligence and playfulness. Residing in Amherst, MA, Sage is a loyal companion weighing in at 44 pounds, with a tan coat accented by striking white and dark markings. Sage thrives on connection, whether it's asking for a walk, a tummy rub, or letting you know it’s mealtime. She's eager to showcase her intelligence, mastering commands like sit, down, and up. Sage enjoys strolls filled with incredible scents and playful moments hiding bones, but she loves nothing more than curling up close to her humans. This house-trained pup generally stays calm when left alone, but prefers companionship due to mild separation anxiety. She absolutely adores young children, displaying a gentle nature that makes her a perfect playmate. When it comes to other dogs, Sage is selective. She enjoys doggy daycare but has shown some reactivity, especially in high-energy scenarios while on a leash. A dog-savvy guardian could help her navigate these interactions. Sadly, she's not a fan of cats and would do best in a cat-free zone. With expressive eyes and a joyful spirit, Sage is ready to light up your life. A home with a fenced yard and lots of love would suit her best. She's also offered with a month of professional behavioral support to help her transition smoothly into her next chapter. Could your heart and home be the place Sage is looking for?
