Our Dog Team

Sage

Lazy Girl
Sage is a lazy girl–but in all the best ways. She is fast, graceful, and a bit of an escape artist, but she is a gentle couch potato at heart. She’s a bit of a princess and refuses to lie down on hard surfaces–only blankets, pillows, and soft dog beds for this girl. Sage loves to snuggle and will rest her face on your leg and give full-force puppy-dog eyes until you let her join you on the bed or sofa. Sage loves to make people feel welcome and relaxed.

Echo

Good Boy
Echo is a good boy (most of the time) but has a rascally streak and is the troublemaker of the two furry team members. He is two years younger and over 15 pounds heavier than Sage, but he has no idea how big he is and thinks he is a lap dog. Echo is funny and silly–he loves making people laugh. One of his quirks is that he sleeps on his back with his legs sticking straight up in the air. He is loyal, calm, and makes our patients feel at ease.
