Saige is a light brown with lot of white markings: a stripe down her face, on her chest and tummy, around her muzzle and the tips of her ears, and on her feet.

Saige is very sweet and energetic. She loves to play, and does great with the one dog she knows. She is very comfortable with an energetic four-year-old child in her foster home. Saige is a super-snuggler with a soft coat and a warm heart. She loves to rest her big blocky head on you, and “purrs” when you scratch her neck right. She’s the perfect companion for a chilly winter evening on the couch, or for a sunny afternoon puttering in the yard. <p>Saige is young enough to be playful and enjoys having space to zoom around the yard for a bit. She comes right in when called. At the same time, she’s mature enough to play it cool inside and can keep herself entertained with toys.<p>She shouldn't be crated and never destroys anything. Saige walks pretty well on a leash and would love a fenced-in yard!
