Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Evergreen, Colorado

Say hello to Sage!! If you're looking for a dog who's equal parts beauty, brains, and a fresh start story you'll want to be part of... Sage might just be your girl.

This stunning 2-year-old tawny pit bull mix found herself wandering the streets of a small town before being brought into a local vet clinic. When they tracked down her owner, he was in was in the clink and unable to care for her — but thankfully, he made the right call and surrendered her so she could get the second chance she deserves.

We've partnered with this amazing vet clinic many times because they never turn away an animal in need. They stepped up without hesitation when Sage needed someone. Right now, Sage is safe and being cared for there while she waits for a foster or forever home.

And here's what we're learning about her... Sage LOVES people. All people. Big, small, tiny humans included. She's affectionate, social, and genuinely enjoys being around her humans. She's also been great with cats — which is always a huge win!

She keeps her kennel perfectly clean, which tells us she likely has some house manners already. Now let's talk personality — because Sage is a smart cookie. She came to us with basically zero training, but she's already picking things up quickly. She's learning leash manners, working on “sit,” and making progress every day. She's eager... sometimes a little too eager... especially when treats are involved (we're working on taking them gently instead of gobling them down. She has shown zero human aggression. We can handle her food, take toys or Kongs away, and she remains relaxed and trusting. That says a lot about her heart.

Sage is going to thrive with someone who will continue her training, give her structure, and help her channel all that brainpower and enthusiasm into being the amazing dog we know she can be. Right now, what she needs most is a chance — a foster, or better yet, a forever home where she can finally exhale.

If you've got a soft spot for underdogs (literally and figuratively), Sage is waiting for you. Sage weighs around 50 pounds.

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
