About Sage

Sage is a beautiful 11-month-old white German Shepherd, weighing approximately 60lbs. She has a petite build and sparkling white teeth to match her stunning coat. Sage is a bit skittish and is looking for a patient and understanding home that can help her build confidence. She would do best with a family that has experience with German Shepherds, especially white shepherds, as they can sometimes have a more sensitive disposition. Sage prefers the company of female humans but will warm up to men over time.

Ideal Home

Sage needs a home that can work with her on confidence building and understands her sensitive nature. A GSD-savvy home, ideally with experience with white shepherds, would be perfect. Due to her skittishness, she would do best in a home with teens and older children only. She prefers to be the only dog in the household and has no known experience with cats. A fenced-in yard is a must for Sage.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions or procedures were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Sage requires a home that will provide training and ample time for her to build trust. It is imperative that her adopters are committed to her confidence-building journey.
