Everyone say hello to SAIGE! 

Saige is a 9-month old whippet/boxer mix weighing around 42 pounds. Saige came to us as a stray but despite the fact that we dont know much about her before coming to us, she is definitely a peoples dog. She loves humans more than other dogs but CAN be in a home with a calmer more patient pup that will allow Saige to reach her full potential and show her how to dog. However, Saige CANNOT be in a home with cats. She would be best with children over ten and is a JUMPER! She has been known to jump fences so supervised time in the yard is a must.

Saige absolutely will be loyal to who she deems her person and needs a person that will be active and willing to work with Saige on her leash skills and basic obedience. She still has some accidents in the house so her adopter will have to be patient in allowing Saige to get comfortable with her environment and routine. 

Saige is currently at the kennel in TN but can travel anywhere Big Fluffy Rescue goes. If you are interested in adopting Saige, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/adopt/adoption-application/ and email paige@bigfluffydogs.com!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you cant supervise. 3.) Socialization.  The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dogs behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come.  Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didnt realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.  Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
