Sage

**Requires another playful, large dog in home! NO exceptions!**<br/><br/>MEET SAGE! <br/><br/>Sage is a 7-month-old, 40-pound sweetheart who is learning what it means to be a dog in a safe and loving home.<br/><br/>For the first 5 months of her life, Sage lived outside and didn't get the socialization that puppies need. Because of that, new people, kids, loud noises, and busy environments can still be pretty overwhelming for her. But after about a month in her foster home, we're already seeing her come out of her shell!<br/><br/>Sage is a cautious girl who needs people to give her time and space to feel comfortable. When there are only a few people around and they let her approach on her own terms, she starts to open up and show her sweet personality. She absolutely LOVES belly rubs once she trusts you! <br/><br/>Her kennel is her safe space, and she's kennel trained. When she feels overwhelmed, she often chooses to retreat to her kennel to decompress. She is also doing really well with potty training! We'd estimate she's about 80% potty trained. She knows that potty happens outside, but if she gets scared or startled, she may still have an accident.<br/><br/>Sage LOVES being outside and is happiest when she's able to relax in a familiar, quiet environment. She's also wonderful with other dogs and would love having a confident canine sibling to learn from! She's been fine with cats so far, although her interactions have been limited and always on leash.<br/><br/>Sage isn't looking for a home that expects her to immediately be everyone's social butterfly. She needs a patient family who understands that confidence takes time and who will celebrate the little victories along the way. In return, you'll get one of the sweetest girls who is just waiting for someone to show her that the world can be a safe place. <br/><br/>Sage has already come such a long way in just one month. We can't wait to see how much more she blossoms with the right family!<br/><br/>Think Sage could be your girl? Apply to adopt her today!<br/>Apply here: linktr.ee/zoisanimalrescue
