Sage is a 7-month-old German Shepherd in Sheridan, IN, who needs $2,000 for Ulna Angular Limb Deformity Osteotomy.

Sage lives with her mom Kathy and dad David. She has a brother named Ranger. We got her from a breeder in Northern Indiana. We fell in love with her at first sight and knew she would complete our little family. She is the best puppy ever. So full of life and love. She has a severe case of elbow dysplasia. She has to have surgery soon to fix her legs. Our little Sage is 7 months old.

Sage always wants to be where we are, however she lives to be outside running around. At night she sleeps in her bed but will get up to snuggle with Dad. She is always by our side and is full of love and kisses. Even though we know she is in pain, she is always just happy to be with us. She is such an amazing strong dog. We love her so much.

Sage's dad and I are both divorced and trying to pick up the pieces. So lucky we found each other. Right now we live paycheck to paycheck. We don’t have the extra funds to pay for this at all. It makes me so sad that we can’t get this done sooner rather than later.

She had a severe case of elbow dysplasia. She is going to have an ulna release on both front paws. It’s going to be a rough surgery and recovery. She goes to the VCA Animal Hospital in Fishers, IN and her amazing surgeon is Dr. Tim James. We are so blessed to have him on our team, as well as her primary vet Dr. Christine.

Sage is so good all the time. She loves to go for car rides and meet people. She is also a very fierce cricket hunter. She loves to get them and bring them to mommy. Her favorite toy is anything that she can chew but she has never chewed on anything that she’s not supposed to. She is a dream dog and we love her so.
