Sage's story

Meet Sage

Sage has a very sad story and I really want to help her, but I can’t without a foster home for her. She belongs to a drug addict who lives in a hotel room, and has repeatedly tried to kill herself. When this happens the dogs are left to fend for themselves, paramedics arrive, and take their owner, and they have no one to care for them.

The owner's mother will no longer take them in, so their owner's grandmother agreed to take them this time, but she is not strong enough to handle them and she is going in to have heart surgery on Friday. She is trying desperately not to turn them over to county and is begging that we help her.

Currently they live in a run on the side of her house with a small part of her garage reserved so that they can get in out of the weather at night or when it’s been raining. The most she can do for them is to place their food and water over the fence that she has set up to separate them from the rest of her garage.

Sage is a sweet girl who lives with a 7 month old cane corso/pitbull mix and does well with her. She is obviously overweight. She said that her granddaughter did take her through a training program but hasn’t really followed through with that training. She has power of attorney over her grand-daughter so she can legally re-home her dogs.

I would take Sage in a second if I had a place to put her! I would hate to see her go to county or worse. Her grandmother even called county and they told her that they were full and she needed to make an appointment and someone would call her back within 72 hours to do that but nobody has called her back yet.

So there is a possibility that county won’t take her before Friday and if she can not find them a place to go before she goes in before the heart surgery, she is talking about letting them loose to fend for themselves.

If you are looking to adopt a young (2 year old) female Rottie, consider being Sage’s Rottie hero please. She deserves stability, and to be properly cared for. We are in Gilbert, AZ. We can not ship Sage out of state.

She will need to be fostered in the Phoenix area or adopted to someone within AZ. If you are interested in saving her life, please go to www.rottenrottie.com and fill out the proper application under the "How To" button. Thank you.
