Sage - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Naperville, Illinois

Hi, I’m Sage!

I’m an active, happy girl currently in Georgia, but I’m ready to travel when my forever family finds me. I love to play, explore, go for walks, and be wherever my people are. I’m very people-oriented, and if you move from one room to another, there’s a pretty good chance I’m coming with you.

I have lots of energy, and I’m still working on some manners. I can get mouthy when I’m excited and playing, but I respond well to redirection and am learning that toys are for biting, hands are not. I can also be enthusiastic on leash at first, but once I’ve burned off some energy, I settle down and walk much more calmly.

Busy environments with lots of dogs can overwhelm me, and I may come on strong. Once I have space to decompress, I do much better. I’ll thrive with an active, patient family who will continue my training, give me appropriate outlets for my energy, and help me keep building confidence.

Underneath all that excitement, I’m an incredibly affectionate girl who just wants to be included. Give me exercise, guidance, and plenty of love, and I’ll give you one very happy, loyal companion.
