About Sage (Shepherd) in Seattle, WA 98125

Sage is waiting for you at Dog Gone Seattle Rescue in Seattle, WA 98125. Animal Profile: Smidget (who we call Sage), Audrey, and Tiny small but “leggy” German Shepherd/Poodle sisters who are ready for a new beginning! Born into a hoarding situation, they’ve already overcome a tough start, and thanks to our partners at Washington Health Outreach, they were able to find their way into rescue. Now safe and healthy, Smidget, Audrey and Tiny are discovering the world for the first time ... grass under their paws, toys to chase, and gentle hands to trust.

These girls are blossoming into the wonderful dogs they were always meant to be, and we can’t wait to see them continue their journey with families who will help them shine. Foster Update: More like a wild fairytale creature than a typical dog, petite Sage (now 11 months old) could pass for a coyote/fox hybrid and acts like a woodland sprite who accidentally found herself in the human world and is still trying to figure out the rules. In her current foster home, Sage has made great strides toward learning to be a dog. Initially scared of her own shadow, she’s integrated well into a large pack of dogs and loves running, playing, and wresting with dogs of all sizes and ages. She also likes cats and horses. Curious but still unsure of new people, it took a couple of weeks for Sage to start tentatively asking her foster mom for petting and affection. Sage now enjoys following her people around the house, comes when called, and is a sweet, soft, gentle presence who is just starting to show her silly, whimsical side. We have taught her to approach new people and “touch” with her nose as an introduction. She is fully potty trained and crate trained, enjoys daily routines, and is an ideal home office companion for her foster mom. Sage is looking for a home with at least one other
