I adopted Sage from MHWR in November 2008. She was an amazing, loving companion for me for the past 2 1/2 years. She passed away this morning at the vet, after having a stroke yesterday. Of all the dogs I have ever encountered, none was as endearing as Sage. Everywhere we went people were drawn to her and she ate it up...her favorite things were treats and people attention. When I adopted her I was told that she had a pretty rough start to life, being a breed dog in a puppy mill, then owned by a family who was abusive. I learned from the vet today that she had shot pellets in her from a time when someone had shot her. Thanks to the work that you guys do at MHWR at least her last 2 1/2 years were filled with the most love a dog could have.
