Sage is a charming senior gentleman who came to us from our friends at Branch County Animal Control. He’s got a signature move—dropping the ball right into your lap to politely insist you throw it again (and again). Don’t let his age fool you: this golden‐aged goof still has plenty of pep for fetch sessions and joy rides!
Treats are Sage’s love language, which makes him easy (and fun) to train—though he’ll happily use those puppy‑dog eyes to score an extra biscuit or two. He can be pushy with other dogs, so he’d do best as the only dog or with a calm, tolerant canine companion who gives him space. A laid‑back cat who’s comfortable around dogs should be fine; he’s respectful if they’re not reactive.
Because Sage sometimes forgets his size and enthusiasm, we’re looking for a home with adults or older teens rather than young children—somewhere mellow where he can enjoy his golden years without little ones underfoot.
Sage is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative—ready to fill an adults‑only (or older‑kids) household with loyal companionship, slobbery tennis balls, and endless love. If you’re searching for a fun‑loving senior who still has plenty of zoom left, Sage is your guy!
