About Sage
Meet Sage, the lovable goofball who's ready to bring joy and plenty of wagging tails into your life. This sweet boy is bursting with personality and possesses an irresistible charm. His endearing, slightly stressed look adds a touch of hilarity to his already delightful presence, and his love for people is second to none.
Sage is a bit of a powerhouse with a big heart, and he's on the lookout for a confident and experienced handler who can appreciate his strength and size while providing consistent guidance. Though he hasn't had extensive socialization, his friendliness shines through, and with the right support, he can truly thrive. He’s quite excitable and boisterous, his boundless energy is contagious, especially at playtime, which makes him a joy to watch.
With proper lead training, Sage is sure to become an excellent walking companion, and he would love to have some room to run and indulge in daily exercise, shedding those extra few kilograms along the way. It's essential to understand that Sage may feel a little nervy and overwhelmed in bustling environments, so a calm yet structured setting would be ideal for him. Since he tends to bark when left alone, a considerate approach to crate training, along with toy play, will help him channel his energy while learning to relax at home.
Sage’s big heart and goofy nature make him a perfect companion for someone willing to invest time and love. If you’re ready to embrace the joy and challenge of having a resilient, playful friend who craves your company, Sage is excitedly waiting to meet you and become a cherished member of your family.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
