About Sage

Meet Sage!

Sage is a spirited five-year-old German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and American Pitbull Terrier mix whose essence is a glowing blend of intelligence, affection, and playful charm. She's a loyal, medium-sized companion at 44 pounds who thrives on connection, cuddles, and adventure! Sage is a great communicator and is incredibly smart, already mastering "sit," "down," and "up," and eager to show off her skills. Her days are happiest when they include plenty of sniff-filled strolls, playful bone-hiding missions, and time curled up close to her people. Sage is house-trained, non-destructive, and generally calm when left alone, though she experiences mild separation anxiety and much prefers a cozy bed to a crate. She absolutely lights up around young children and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes her a fantastic playmate!

Ideal Home

Sage would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and plenty of time to share with her people. She would do best in a feline-free environment. While she enjoys doggy daycare and has made some canine friends, she tends to mirror the energy of other dogs and has had a few scuffles, mostly while on a leash. Her reactive moments appear tied to certain high-energy or intense dog encounters, particularly when she's feeling restrained. Because of this, Sage would thrive with a calm, dog-savvy guardian who can manage these interactions thoughtfully, or in a home where she can be the only pup and enjoy the spotlight all to herself.

Ongoing Health

Sage has mild separation anxiety and prefers a cozy bed to a crate.

Training & Support

Sage is house-trained and non-destructive. She is eager to please and has already mastered "sit," "down," and "up." A month of professional behavioral support is included to help Sage settle into her next chapter with ease and reassurance.
