FOSTER PARENT COMMENTS:   Sage  is a very special dog for whom attention is the best reward, she loves treats but she likes best to be petted and praised and given all of the love she didn't get before she ended up in the shelter. In her foster home, Sage has an older foster sister (also a former BFPA dog) who has been showing her the ropes of walking on a leash, sharing the house with three feline siblings, being crate trained, riding in cars, not begging for food at the table, napping in sunshine spots and getting lots and lots of attention from her humans.  Sage is really looking forward to showing off these new skills when she is in her new forever home. 

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:  Sage was adopted from a high kill rural shelter, and unfortunately returned to the same shelter when her "parent" did not feel he had enough time to spend on her.  Kind staff at the shelter brought Sage to BFPA's attention, and we were happy to bring this sweet girl in from the cold, outdoor shelter and help her find her forever family.
