We just adopted a canine a few weeks ago. We were told her mother was 1/2 Timberwolf, and 1/2 German Shepherd. Her father was said to be full blooded White German Shepherd.  When we arrived at the "breeder's" home we were horrified to see the way the animals were living.  We believe it is a puppy mill.  We did not bring money to purchase her, but we left to go to an ATM right away.  We could not think of leaving her there another minute. The breeder would not allow us to see the father for many excuses.  All the adults were chained to trees and the pups (12-15) were running free.  It was a horrible scene.  We brought Sage home and took her to the vet as soon as we could.  She was diagnosed with hookworms and roundworms.  The vet said in a few days she could have died. 

We very badly wanted to keep her, but the more we researched about her breeds ways, we began to realize our home was not the best place for her.  The girls were scared because of her behavior very much unlike a regular pup.  So I reached out to some of you and found great help and information from a few of you.  Thank you so much you know who you are.  Anyway,  I began to write to wolf sanctuaries and rescues all over the United States.  I finally received help from Danya from Arizona and she directed me to a woman near us that ran a pet boarding business.  Brandi is the most amazing woman and she very graciously helped us with taking Sage on as her own. 

Recently she said that Sage already has two applications in for potential adoptions.  One in Ohio and the other in Florida.  I am so blessed to have had Sage in our life and we forever will have her in our hearts.  I hope whoever gets to have her in their lives continues to send me pictures of her and let us know how her personality unravels.  Anyway this is our story of our beautiful wolf dog and her journey to health.  She is doing amazing and is going to be around for many moons to come!
