Sage German Shepherd Dog Mix Lenoir, NC

Sage was pulled from our local Animal Control facility. She was surrendered with her litter of puppies who are weaned and ready for mom to begin her new life.

With a guesstimated birthday in Aug. 2022, Sage weighed about 40 lb at her vet visit in Aug. 2024. She should weigh about 45 lb once she recovers from feeding puppies.

Sage is a sweet, humble girl who is grateful for a safe, secure place inside her rescuer's home. She is leash savvy and comfy in a 42" crate. She has had a few accidents in her foster home, but is doing better at pottying outside.

Sage loves the friendly dogs in her foster home. She is reserved around strangers until she can predict their behavior, then she cautiously affectionate. She has bonded with her foster mom and will do the same for her new family.


=========================================
Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, heartworm (HW) test, HW prevention, and deworming if recommended by our vet.

Puppies will have two vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm prevention if age-appropriate. An additional fee for the 3rd puppy vaccination and rabies vaccination, if administered, will be added to the adoption fee.

If you are adopting an intact dog, a refundable spay/neuter deposit is required, and a vet reference may be required.
