Meet Sage, a stunning German Shepherd mix who's embracing her new life in Connecticut with open paws! This sweet girl, rescued from a boarding facility in New York, is rediscovering the joys of being a beloved pet.
Sage is thriving in her foster home, and attending doggie daycare to improve her social skills and independence. She's your devoted companion once she bonds with you, sticking to you like a shadow. Sage is a true adventurer, relishing hikes, swims, car rides, and long games of tug-of-war.
With her sharp intellect and love for treats, Sage excels in training, mastering basic commands and fun tricks like "roll over." While she's still learning leash manners, she's making impressive progress. Sage is fully housebroken and will let you know when she needs to go outside. Plus, she settles calmly in her crate after a short adjustment period (with snacks, of course!).
Sage thrives as the sole pet in the household, preferring not to share her space with other animals or children. However, for an experienced owner, exceptions may be considered for a multi-dog household. While she shows interest in cats, she could coexist with a savvy feline friend in the right environment.
If you're ready to embark on countless adventures with a loyal and intelligent companion, Sage might be the perfect match for you!

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
