About Sage-ADOPTION PENDING

Schnauzer / Cairn
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable puppy. They're so new and fresh with every possibility open to them. That's the case unless they're unwanted and at risk of euthanasia at a high- kill shelter. We're so grateful for the efforts of our great Texas rescuer in saving Sage...she could see that his temperament was so sweet and kind while so frightened in the chaos of the shelter that she couldn't allow him to be euthanized. Farfel's was immediately contacted by Sage's rescuer...we were thrilled to welcome this loving and beautiful puppy into our rescue. It turns out that Sage, at just about 7 months old and 10 lbs (expected to be approximately 15 lbs when full-grown) is so loving and so very sweet that it's been a fun and rewarding experience for his rescuer mom. She shared with us that initially Sage was extremely frightened and she respected his terror after his time in the shelter chaos. For a week or so, she didn't pet Sage..but sang and read to him while he decompressed. It was a special day when Sage chose to leave the safety of his crate and approach his rescuer..he became a lap dog and companion in the days that have followed. Sage is like a blank slate...open and curious about everything around him and growing braver each day. If he continues his current regimen of socialization that promotes positive relationships with other dogs and bonding with humans...Sage will become a well-adjusted and very loving adult companion. Positive reinforcement group obedience class will get this very smart puppy ready for a life of inclusion with his family. Through these classes, Sage will learn cause and effect in his relationships with other dogs. He will also view his people as his leaders, therefore developing a desire to please and to be partners with his family. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of positive reinforcement trainers in your area. Sage is a gorgeous, scruffy Schnauzer/Terrier mix puppy with a shining, cottony-soft coat that speaks of his breed mix. Sage's coat will require a commitment to periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition (a salmon oil supplement is an amazing life-long supplement for coat care and longevity). A family that loves Sage like crazy is exactly the type of folks we're searching for for this silly/fun, entertaining and very loving puppy (once he is comfortable). We also feel it's very important that he is provided with exercise and mental stimulation. Sage will be overjoyed if his future holds hikes along Colorado trails enjoying the sunshine. Socializing with other hikers and their dogs will definitely speak to the engaging nature of this curious pup. We'd love a family for Sage that spends lots of time at home.. and chooses to include a fuzzy best friend in their activities. Sage can be taught that the car is a fun place that leads to great adventures out in the community. He can therefore accompany his family just about anywhere with the assurance that he'll be a social and appropriate guy. Sage will be arriving in Boulder unfixed due to his very young age. Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs in regard to his neuter and microchip if one of our rescue vets is used. Sage will be arriving on transport in Boulder in mid-August. Applications are currently being accepted for this cuddly best friend. Apps can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE: If you're truly interested in adopting Sage, please be sure to fill out our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving guy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks so much for choosing rescue.
