My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sage's adoption fee is sponsored by Service Unlimited, Inc for approved applicants!

If Sage was a song she’d be “Easy like Sunday Morning.”

Sage is such a sweet, easy, soulful pup. Sage is around 6 years old, 65lbs, she is completely house and crate trained and she loves training and learning new tricks. She has the most soulful eyes that will melt any heart!

Sage came to Faithful Friends after she was found on the side of the road by a family in an area known for pets being dumped. They brought her home but couldn’t keep her so they brought her to the shelter. We quickly noticed that Sage had an injured back leg and after being looked at by the vet it was discovered she had an old break that had healed wrong and the only option for her was amputation. So Sage is now an adorable tripawd but it doesn’t bother her one bit! She gets around as well as any other dog and she needs no special medicine, equipment or attention. We actually think it gives her character!

Sage spent her recovery in a foster home and we learned that she is a perfect house guest! She has wonderful house manners, she loves to snuggle, she can stay home by herself with no problems and she loves everyone who comes to visit her! Sage is the perfect age, around 5 years old. She is passed her puppy period and has figured everything out but she still has the energy to do all the fun things like hiking, walks or playing in the yard. Sage loves every human she meets and her foster mom even took her to work with her! She would prefer to be your one and only pet in the home and she deserves the world after everything she’s been through. Come meet Sage and her soulful puppy eyes! She is ready to leave shelter life behind her for good!

More about this shelter

Faithful Friends was founded in 2000, as Citizens for the Protection and Care of Animals, by a group of local animal lovers who believe there is a better way to address the problem of pet homelessness than mass euthanasia.

Currently, about 25,000 pets become homeless in Delaware and over 15,000 are destroyed in Delaware's publicly funded shelters. The vast majority of these pets are destroyed because there are no homes for them immediately available. And these numbers do not take into account the thousands of homeless cats that huddle near dumpsters, living in fear.

Pet overpopulation and homelessness is a community problem, not a shelter problem. It takes a unified effort within the community to solve the problem and to do so in a humane, effective manner. We hope you will join this effort!

Our Mission
Ending the routine killing of dogs and cats through rescue and adoption of homeless pets, affordable spay/neuter programs that target the neediest pet owners in our community, and outreach programs that prevent pet owner relinquishments.

Our Vision
That Delaware will become a state that cares for and protects animal companions, eliminating abuse, neglect and the routine killing of homeless pets.

Our Goals
Significantly increase adoptions of homeless pets by building a state-of-the-art Adoption Center that provides medical care and a homelike setting where dogs and cats can live free of stress and fear until new homes are found for them.

Provide care options for homeless pets that need more time and training to become adopted or who need lifetime care by creating a Sanctuary in Delaware. Here, animals who are difficult to place in homes because of age, illness or temperament can live out their natural lives in safety.

Create therapeutic programs that bring animals and their gifts of unconditional love, companionship and healing to children and the elderly in residential facilities who suffer from isolation, depression or the effects of abuse or illness.

Reduce overpopulation by providing spay/neuter programs which target the neediest pet owners and feral/stray cats.

Reduce pet relinquishments to shelters by offering support, training and alternatives to owner give-ups.
