Story
Sage — The Queen of Cozy Now introducing Sage, the sweet, soulful lady who’s all about the slow jams and snuggle sessions. This gentle gal may start off a little shy — she prefers a soft intro instead of a big drumroll — but once she warms up, she’s all love and heart. Sage gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys calm, friendly company. She’s currently polishing her leash-walking skills and doing great — proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks (especially when treats are involved). When she’s not practicing her walk or making new friends, Sage is perfecting her favorite pastime: cuddling. Whether it’s movie night, nap time, or just a quiet moment on the couch, she’s ready to be right by your side. If you’re looking for a loving companion who brings comfort, charm, and just a touch of gentle humor to your life, Sage is ready to steal your heart — no spotlight needed, just a cozy couch. Submit application online if interested in Sage https://www.vermontenglishbulldogrescue.com/non-bulldog-application/ Details: Breed: German Shepherd Sex: Spayed Female Weight: 59 lbs. Age: 5 years (estimate) Vaccinations: Current
