Hi, my name is Sage and I'm ready to spice up your life! I am pretty sure I am a Collie and Border Collie mix around 2 ½ years old. I was surrendered by my groomer who can no longer keep me. I am currently living with a really fun foster mom who is also an AKC trainer. I have been having a blast learning new commands and tricks!

I am great with other dogs and am very sweet with all people and children. I have seen cats but really haven’t been exposed to them much. I would love to find a forever home with another dog to play with but would also be cool as your one-and-only. I am house trained and crate trained but need a little work on my leash skills and would love to join you on an adventure so I can get more practice.

A fenced yard would be ideal so I can run and play fetch safely, but if that's not available I’ll need lots of leash walks and opportunities for off-leash play in a fenced area. I would also love to go to dog training classes with you! Group training classes are a great way to reinforce important skills, learn some new commands, and get some quality socialization time with other furry friends.

I love to have fun, whether it's running in the yard or playing with you, but I'm not all about having fun, as I love to snuggle and give kisses, too. If you are looking for the perfect young dog, please fill out an application for me - Sage I can't wait to meet you!

Medical Note:  This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease.  Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future.  Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete.  Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home.  This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications.  Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see      HERE      for more information about this.

*  *Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

As a first step in the adoption process, we ask that you fill out an online application.
