Why Your Gift Matters
Bully breeds face unfair stigma, overcrowded shelters, and limited second chances. When you donate to Sage’s Sanctuary, your gift:
- Helps rescue dogs surrendered or abandoned in the Detroit area.
- Provides essential care—spaying/neutering, medical treatment, and training,
- Creates forever homes through fostering, adoption and community outreach.
Your generosity breaks stereotypes and builds brighter futures—for every pit bull, bully mix, and staff-loved fur ball. With your support, we’re not just saving dogs—we’re changing perceptions and nurturing hope across Detroit and surrounding areas.

Save as many innocent bullies as we can. Heroes aren't born, they are everyday people who choose to save a life. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster or adopt make the choice to save a life today.

Advocate against unfair and discriminatory breed specific legislation. Shift the focus to promoting and ENFORCING legislation that will hold irresponsible dog owners and abusers accountable for their heinous behavior.

Give to support the needs of others. Whether you give once, weekly, monthly or become a regular sponsor, your financial gift helps us make a positive impact in the lives of these dogs every day.

Educate yourself on unethical dog breeding practices and the importance of fostering and adopting shelter dogs. When you foster or adopt a shelter dog, you are actually saving two lives. The life of the dog you pull from the shelter and the life of the dog that gets to fill its space.
