Sunshine Canyon Dog Rescue

Sweet Sage needs you to share this post so she can find her people. She was rescued from being euthanized in CA because she had wounds on her neck and a bad upper respiratory infection. She recovered from that and then came to Colorado where we had X-rays done and discovered that her spine is almost entirely fused and she has hip dysplasia. Our vet thinks she either had a really big infection or multiple spinal injuries. Her pain is under control and she’s doing great, but she won’t be the hiking dog most Coloradans want. Sage is also deaf, and sleeps more soundly than any of us.

Sage is the most loving dog, truly. She rests her head in your lap, gives you her paw, gives kisses & pushes her head into you for snuggles. She is gentle and just really wants to bond. Sage loves belly rubs and even rolled over to have her nails done. She likes to be close to you but is very crate trained too. Sage is fully house trained and non destructive. Sage likes going on walks when it’s cool out, playing with her toys and eating snacks. She loves chomping and chasing the hose. Sage considers herself super helpful and wants to be in the mix of any and all house projects.

She was kenneled with a dog in CA, and has been better with meeting one of her fosters small dogs, but we think she needs slow intros.

Sage would do best in a house without a lot of stairs because of her spine and hips, or a house that she can stay on one level. She still really enjoys long walks but just can’t do anything high impact.

If you’re looking for literally the sweetest girl in the world, you’ve found her. If you can’t adopt, please pass this on, it will take a special person to see through her history and give her a new chapter full of cozy beds and love.

Dear Future Best Friend,

My name is Daphne, and if you’re reading this, I think we are meant to meet.

I’m 5 months old and made up of all kinds of fun breeds, including Great Pyrenees. I even have the fancy dewclaws to prove it! Whatever else is in my DNA, one thing is certain: I am built for loyalty, love, and being your constant sidekick.

My favorite thing in the world is being with my people. Whether you’re cooking dinner, watching a movie, working in the yard, or heading to bed, I’d be happiest right there beside you. And if there’s an opportunity to snuggle? Count me in. Actually, count me in for all the snuggles.

I’ll admit, I can be a little cautious when I meet new people or experience new things. I like to take a moment to figure things out. But once I decide you’re a friend, I’m all in. My heart is yours.

I have lots of love to give, plenty of things to say, and I’m looking for a person or family that has room in their lives for a best friend who wants to be part of everything.

So what do you think? Want to be best friends?

Love, Daphne
