According to a police press release, Sage was found to be “neglected, significantly underweight and exhibiting symptoms requiring medical treatment.”
Animal Control took Sage to Capital District Veterinary Referral Hospital for treatment while investigators and Animal Control continued their investigation.
The investigation led to NOBLES, Sage’s guardian, being charged with misdemeanor failure to provide proper sustenance. NOBLES turned himself in to Troy Police on October 20, 2026, and was later released.

The Rensselaer County District Attorney’s Office will oversee the prosecution of the case.
In a written statement, Troy Mayor Carmella R. Mantello said: “Animal cruelty and neglect are unacceptable, and we have a responsibility to protect those who cannot speak for themselves. I want to thank our Troy Animal Control team, Troy Police detectives, and the veterinary professionals at Capital District Veterinary Hospital for their compassionate response and commitment to Sage’s care. We will continue to take these cases seriously and work with our law enforcement partners to ensure accountability. Sage deserves compassion, proper care, and the opportunity for a healthy future.”
