She is now having to race against time to find a home, as she has landed a sad deadline. The clip has captured the hearts of many on social media. The caption of the post read, “One human mistake has landed Sage (A2476545) with a deadline.”
In the meantime, the caption further revealed, “Sage was given the opportunity to leave the shelter for the day through @browardbuddies.” It continued, “Everyone that participates is always clearly instructed not to introduce shelter dogs to other animals or bring them to dog parks.” The caption then read, “Unfortunately, that rule wasn’t followed. Sage was introduced to another dog, a fight occurred, and the consequences have fallen on her.” It then revealed, “Sage now has a deadline of August 13.” The fur baby is currently at Broward County Animal Care in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
