About Sage

Sage is a terrific dog companion. She's house trained and knows her basic commands (e.g., sit, lie down, come, lets go, touch, find it) and basic manners (e.g., no getting on furniture without permission, no chewing anything or make a mess, and no barking around the house or resource guarding). She's 6 y.o., spayed, microchipped, and up on all her shots and check-ups; during her latest vet visit this past August, the vet said Sage was in great health. She's so affectionate, and as you can hopefully tell from her pictures, a true sweetheart. She loves napping at home and playing with her stuffed toys. She's always excited to see me and people she knows. She can be shy and nervous around strangers at first, but once she gets comfortable with them (which takes only about ~30 seconds), she loves to get attention and affection and hang out. She loves her treats, especially dental sticks and bacon and biscuit snacks. And though she doesn't need a ton of physical activity given her age and disposition, she loves walks; especially sniffing all the amazing things going on outside. Because she's a rescue, she has some manageable anxiety issues, which we've made some progress on with some medication and training. Outside the house, and she's definitely not a fan of other dogs and is reactive. It's definitely fear based. So, a home or apt with an enclosed outdoor space would be best. She lived with another dog for about a year, and they got along really well; so it's definitely possible for her to live with another dog. It's all about making sure the dogs are a right personality fit, and introducing them slowly. I'm not able to keep Sage given a change in life circumstances. I had a job fall through because of funding issues caused by the pandemic, and my new job will require me to move to the east coast next month and work long hours, fully in person. I'm so sad to have to rehome her, but I won't be able to continue give her the attention and care she deserves. Ideally, she'd love a new owner who (a) has a bit of space, so she doesn't feel cramped; and (b) can continue her training to help her amazing personality continue to shine and show her that the world is not so scary. Prior experience adopting a rescue is ideal, though not necessary.
