Highlight: Gage may require another confident dog in the home to help him build trust and feel secure.
Meet Gage - A Gentle Soul with a Curious Heart
Gage is an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd who weighs 57 pounds and is the picture of quiet charm. This shy but sweet boy is slowly discovering the joys of being loved and cared for, and with each passing day, he becomes just a bit more confident and curious about the world around him.
While Gage may hang back at first, he has a soft, gentle presence that draws people in. Once he begins to feel safe, his affectionate side starts to shine, and he becomes more comfortable exploring his surroundings and engaging with the people he's come to trust. He's a thoughtful observer who takes his time but responds beautifully to patience and kindness.
Gage gets along well with other dogs and may enjoy the companionship of a calm canine friend who can help guide him through new experiences. He thrives in quiet environments where he can blossom at his own pace and soak up all the gentle reassurance you're willing to give.
If you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will reward your patience with love and gratitude, Gage might be the perfect addition to your home.

Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
