Hi friends! My name is Sage. My beautiful mum Honey was abandoned on death row heavily pregnant and tragically I was born in the pound. No rescues had any space but the pound refused to euthanise us until a place could be found. Thankfully, the pound works closely with Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld and so we reached safety! The OTC team worked really really hard to save not just us, but also other dogs who were in the pound and we all came to the rescue together.

Since coming into care with my siblings, I've been a pleasure to care for; my foster carer has worked hard on giving me a great start to life. I like to spend my days exploring the yard, napping and wrestling with my furry foster sibling who is a large female dog. I am pretty lazy and and like to lay about. At night, I am a really good boy and sleep well through the night in my crate. I'm working on my house training but haven't had any accidents inside in a while! I am a confident boy who would suit living with part time or full time workers. My foster family all work, sometimes from home, and I am doing great here.

My training is coming along well- I know to come, sit and wait for food, and am learning 'shake' and leash skills. I travel well in the car and stay in my spot. I'm a very happy boy who would settle into most homes easily as long as I have another dog there to keep me company. I get along great with children, also!

I'm quickly learning the ropes and have been exposed to many new things since being in care such as baths, car rides, and vet trips. I would love to get out for an adventure 3-4 times a week, to run sniff and roll and go on daily walks/runs with you! Myself and siblings are a bit of a mixed breed; I am a staffy x like my mum, and while we aren't sure who my dad is, we assume he was also a staffy x as I am quite a stocky boy. I will likey grow to a medium-large size, probably 25kg.

I would like to be behind a 5ft fence or higher so that as I grow, I am not tempted to escape the yard. I've made no effort to leave the yard so far however! Being a young dog, I am going to grow up however you allow me to- so it's important to spend your early weeks with me getting my routine and training down-pat. I am a smart pup who is a keen learner and will make you very happy!

So let's do this! Apply to adopt me now- there's a reason you've read this far, I could be the one for you!

Ps- unsure about my name? Well, feel free to change it if you adopt me (most dogs learn new names fast)
