My story

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

?????????? (Longest resident since 12/29/23)

4 years 6 months
good with dogs
good with children
crate trained

Sasha has had a rough start to life. She was stolen for a long time from her family and bred, and then ended up at the shelter as a stray, not too long after being reunited. Sasha was a mandatory spay and her owners did not come back for her.

Words from Sasha’s foster:

“Sasha is a good girl. She has been good in the home and quickly learned our routine and rhythms. She listens well and responds to redirection when necessary. She typically does well with recall although we have only worked on this in the fenced backyard. She is crate trained. Her people are most important to her. She is almost always wherever I am helping me do what I’m doing. She is a snuggler whether it’s across our lap or just pressed close next to us. She’s done well with all of our adult children when they have come over albeit jumping when they first arrive. She has also done well with our 20 month old grandson. She loves toys and will entertain herself with them. She especially likes nylabones. She also is a blanket girl. She has a strong personality and needs stimulation and exercise. She will run circles around the backyard as fast as she can to release some energy and she’s fast. She did have about a five week adjustment period in learning how to live with our two dogs. Our male is pretty unflappable and with a couple of corrections she got it. She had a harder time adjusting to our female. We think it took her awhile to understand that she was not her competition. They are much better now and will often lay together.”

Heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations.
