About Sage
Sage was found wandering the streets of a country town and taken to the local vet. She became very unwell and it was discovered she had ingested rat bait. After emergency treatment and care Sage has bounced back to her happy healthy self. Sage is now with her foster carer and enjoying socialising with lots of other German Shepherds.
Sage would do best with a family or individual who is experienced with the German Shepherds or large breed dogs and who can provide calmness, patience and understanding as she fully settles into her new life. This will allow her to settle comfortably and securely into a loving home environment.
We always recommend to continue training when you take your dog home. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long and is a great way for you to bond with your new dog. You will receive a short training session when meeting Sage.
It's worth noting that Sage hasn’t been tested around cats or smaller pets, so any introductions should be approached with care and supervision.
Sage will be available for adoption in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making her a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet her. Should she, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing her back to Willow Tree or helping us rehome her from your home.

We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
