Hi there, I'm Shade Henderson and Canine Companionship is my heart and soul!

If you saw our story this morning, you know;
SAGE GOT ADOPTED!!!
Let me tell you, they couldn't be more perfect for her, and vice versa! 🐾❤️

Sage's new family is an active couple, recently retired that loves to get outside and do everything and anything with their dog. They have large breed experience, a big fenced yard, plenty of time, and endless LOVE to give Sage!

She took to them quite quickly, was very excited about her new big back yard, her two new bins of dog toys, and especially her big comfy bed in the living room!!!
They have been updating me lots, and Sage is doing so well with them. They've already gone for some walks together, played, and relaxed!
~
Oh, Sagey girl... your beauty, drive, commitment, goofiness, and major amounts of love will be so missed.
There's not enough space on here to describe what we all went through together to get you to where you are today, but I couldn't be more proud of you, to have known you, taught you, and had the honor of loving you. You'll always have a place in our hearts and memories, and I truly could not be happier to have found such a beautiful family for you ❤️❤️❤️

This was such a massive journey for all of us, Natalia, Kahlua, Jasper, Sage and myself; we all learned so much, had lots of fun times with play and laughter, lots of cuddles, tears and swear words 😅

Honestly, the last 3 months were some of the hardest months I've had in my life, but I really wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you for everything, Sage.
We love you and are so proud , you grew and learned so much in such little time 🐾❤️

Also, thank you to everyone who shared and helped us spread the word for Sage. It paid off immensely, of course! We appreciate each and every one of you!

Please enjoy some of our favorite photos of Sage over the last 3 months 🐾❤️

1-on-1 Training / Behavioral Aid, Training Walks, Group Classes, Day Camp;
To a gift certificate for an exact amount of credit to STC for them to put towards any service they would like!

We have been ready to make this post for a while, but honestly, I have had a heavy heart about it and kept putting it off...

It has been a wild roller coaster ride over the last
2 months; but we feel that Sage is ready for her forever home!

Please take a minute to read this & help us find Sage her new family! 🙏 🐾

As some of you know, we took Sage in on September 5th because her owner was planning to euthanize her, that very evening, due to her injury & her lack of listening...

When we took her in, Natalia & I agreed that we would take care of her until her elbow surgery wound was healed & we had made some progress with her obedience/reactivity training and manners. We figured a month or so 😏😅

Well, her elbow is almost completely healed.
It went from a wound the size of a toonie to about a dime now, mostly scar tissue and scab.
It's at the point where as long as it is watched & cleaned properly, it will probably be another month before it is 100% healed over.

Her training is going great, I won't go over everything we have done with her, but the big ones are: Basic Obedience (Sit / stay, Come,
Leave it), crate training, leash manners, open door/property limitations, and her dog reactivity!

Now Sage won't be going to just any home;
It has to be the RIGHT home.
We want this to be Sage's next/last family that she goes to.

We honestly would keep her if we could...
I won't explain our whole situation, but to summarize:
Natalia and I rent a small basement suite in Mission, have 2 working breed dogs already, both work full-time, we don't have a proper yard (+ unfenced) , we are trying to find a new home (as most of you know, trying to find a rental that accepts dogs is fun...) etc.

I will make another post talking more about Sage's personality, qualities, drives/loves,
& her quirks 😉
Included in that post, I will describe who we think would be the ideal family/home for her!!!

Please keep an eye out for that next post,
Share this post with any friends or family that you think may be the right fit for this 14 month old, spayed female German Shepherd!
~OR~
If you think you may be the right fit for Sagey, then please reach out and let's CHAT!!! ❤️🐾

FAQ FRIDAY!
"Why have you not posted a FAQ Friday in so long?!?"

Just kidding; no one has asked that 😅
But I'm happy to be able to finally make a quick post again!

All jokes aside, between work, family, and Sage, our time is pretty tied up; with the occasional leisure activity here and there to give us a quick break, of course!

We've had Sage the 14 MO. GSD with us for just over 2 months now.
Things have been going,
as most foster/rescue/adolescent dogs go,
up and down, to say the least, haha.

We are happy to say that her elbow is almost fully healed. She is incredibly stronger than when she first came to us 2 months ago.
She LOVES to play, fight, cuddle, sleep, eat , fight, and play... 😅

We'll post a full update on Sage tomorrow, so keep an eye out for it!

Ps. No, that's not Sage in the background;
That's Frankie Blue, the mini Shnauzer! An absolutely adorable pup if you ask us!

You read that right; go ahead and SCREAM.
Our group classes are now only $25!

We have really enjoyed running our group classes and seeing the productivity and enjoyment that flourishes from them; so we have decided to lower the cost to allow more people to join! We know how expensive everything is these days, and we are hoping to make this class more financially accessible to everyone!!!

Please reach out with any questions you have regarding our group classes or to sign up!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Meet Bandit!

Bandit is one of our new "Training Walk" clients.
I worked with him and his family in 2023 for his reactivity; he was quite reactive to dogs, cats, and other animals!

His family has done amazing work with him since our sessions together in 2023.
He even happily lives in a home with 3 cats!!!

However, they reached out for help because he gets hyper fixated on dogs still and won't focus on his handler.

His family is hoping to one day be able to have him off leash and around other dogs!
As well as learn how to more calmly greet their guests when people come over!

I've recently started taking him out on Training Walks at Centennial Park in Mission; we walk near the fenced dog park and work on his focus / general obedience!
Along with having him on a 50' long leash to practice recall in distracted areas!!

Bandit is doing great so far, and I am so happy to help them work towards their goals with him; I can't wait to see him get there!
